There is a software emulation of PeeCee s :-) called SoftPC.  This application
has been ported to several different platforms (Mac and Silicon Graphics are
the ones I have used).  It is a complete emulation (even things like Flight
Simulator and Windows ran).  Best of all it is all in software.

This and other emulators are usefull when the software package that you need
is not available on the machine that you are using,

If SoftPC was ported to the NeXT I am sure that there would be many people
who would find it very useful.
