I saw a demo of PC-Ditto on a 520 color system, and it ran Lotus 1-2-3 w/out any problem. Some of the graphics stuff was a little slow, but it ran. An alternative, though, might be VIP Professional. This program is pretty much the same as Lotus. I haven't really used either program (no use), but my (mostly) computer-illiterate boss (a CPA) runs VIP and based on past experience with Lotus and hasn't cracked the book. It also reads and uses existing Lotus files interchangably without any modification. If your friend doesn't already own the Lotus program, he would be being a spendthrift by not going this route as VIP lists for about 1/2 (maybe less) the cost of Lotus... ----- Leo E.
