It should run on IBM and compatibles - requires 512k, and should take up about 5 Mb on a hard disk. It really sounds like a PC/AT is the desired configuration. It will only be available on a site license basis, with their usual sizeable discount for educational institutions. It will come out in several parts, and should be very compatible with the mainframe version. --henry schaffer
