With all of the informative discussion of Epsilon recently, I thought
I'd ask a question I've been pondering for a while.  I've used
Epsilon for a number of years on DOS based systems.  In fact, it's
the first program I move over to a new machine I have to work with.
The idea of using Epsilon on a *light* and *small* portable is 
very appealing indeed.  Has anyone been able to get it to work
on any of the really small machines?  I`ve heard that the portfolio
is 'sorta' able to run DOS software.  Since Epsilon writes directly
to screen hardware (as I remember, I'm using a really old version),
I would expect this to be a problem. The reason I inquire about
the portfolio is that it appears to be both inexpensive and small/light.  
Any and all comments on this topic are *very* much appreciated.
