A friend of mine has a Mac and we tried his prodigy software on my system using Amax to see if it would work. No go. But he called prodigy and got a fix from them. Sorry that I can't recall it, but it has something to do with using the built-in Amax debugger and patching the OS. The thing I find strange about this is that they won't look into a port to AmigaDos, but they *did* spend the time figuring out a patch to the Amax in order for it to work there. Obviously, there shouldn't be any problem with the Amiga hardware which would stop the port. IMHO Prodigy isn't even worth hacking the Amax OS to get at it...
