Does anyone know if the product "Sidekick" from Borland International
(home of Turbo Pascal, Turbo Toolbox, Turbo etc.) will run
satisfactorily on an IBM Monochrome monitor (with the standard
monochrome adapter card)?

Which leads to a more general question -
  Does "windowing"-environment software run on a standard monochrome
  configuration?

    If so:
       -- which ones do and which ones don't
       -- what distinguishes those that do from those that don't;
    Else:
       -- never mind!
    (endif)

Interesting responses will be posted.  Thanx in advance.

Sidekick works fine on an IBM monochrome screen.  It also works on
a Compaq.  (both of these from personal experience)
