I haven't played these games on a Mac, but my experience with the
IBM says "yes" to your question.  In fact, a while back I said in
a posting that TSR should change the interface because it's always
the same:  Same 3D view, same windowing environment, same commands,
same subscreens, same, same, same...

Yes, they are both very tedious.  This is because each battle takes
much longer than the average battle of other RPG's.
