     It doesn't do anything on an Amiga with 68010, 68020, or 68030.
Software failure.
     (Yes, I have the misfortunte to own TrueBasic. I had to buy it for
a class. Fortunately, I got it cheap.)
     It's also very slow and doesn't support _any_ of the Amiga's features
which cannot be emulated on an IBM easily. This means no sound support (past
a single, tinny, PC-emulating channel), no SPRITE or BOB support, poor
windowing support, no system pull-down menus, etc. Really a waste of time.
                                                    - R'ykandar.
