Re: [Axiom-developer] MacOS X development

[Eugene Surowitz]

A possibility ( at least for me ) is to try running Axiom in a virtual 
PC on a MAC.
This might work if you can get the VirtualPC product which provides an 
environment
to create and run virtual PCs on MacOS X.  It's a Microsoft product ever 
since
they bought Connectrix(?) which created it.

Currently I have a G4 Powerbook running VirtualPC with these virtual PCs:

MS Windows XP Pro
Mandrake 8.0
Redhat 9. (the Redhat has problems dealing with the 17" screen)

I plan to get around to trying to get Axiom onto virtual XP soon but 
schedule.

Cheers, Eugene Surowitz
