I haven't ordered it yet, but I plan to.  When I called the folks at
Chalcedony to check on system requirements, they told me that their
products are actually MS-DOS compatible ... so they should work on alot
more machines than just IBM-PC's and clones.  The also said something
about a new release becoming available soon (that should be just about
now, as they were saying "in about two weeks", and that was about 6 weeks
ago :-) ).

I sure wish more s/w companies would advertise the true system requirements
for their products ... if the s/w only requires MS-DOS, then advertise it
as MS-DOS/PC-DOS compatible.  That would increase their potential market
by something like 25%, which sure couldn't hurt!
