	I haven't used Interleaf on a PC, but I have used it on a SUN, and
I have spoken with associates who _have_ used it on a PC.  My suggestion
is: go for it.  Everyone who uses both versions says the PC version is very
much akin to the full-blown Sun version, fast, powerful, etc., etc.

	I've been told that you need a minimum of 2 megs of RAM to run
Interleaf on a PC, but if you can cover the ~$800 price tag of the
software, and have the other hardware to run with (VGA, etc.) then adding
memory to make this sucker run is well worth the time, effort, and bucks.
