For various reasons, I would like to be able to run PC
software on the NeXT (no gagging, please :-).  SoftPC (a
software PC emulator) is mentioned in NeXT's third-party
software catalog, if I remember correctly.  I also remember
reading that though the product is released for some
platforms (I've seen it on RS/6000s), it hasn't been
released for NeXT yet.  Did I see something about 1Q91?
Does anyone know if Insignia (the vendor) is present
somewhere on the net?  Does anyone know any other details on
the product (other than its reported slow execution speed
even on fast platforms)?
