I have not used Pagemaker under VP/IX, but have used Samna's AMI, which is also a windows based product, and does work just fine. However, one evening when not completely awake, I tried to install Windows386, and only after the message that it would not run on an 80286 did I remember that VP/IX gives you a virtual 8088 environment. Windows286 on VP/IX runs almost as fast as it does on my 10Mhz 80286, and except for the requirement to flush the print buffer for non-dedicated printers, I find it works just fine. bruce -- ========================================================================= Bruce A.
