	In reference to an MS-DOS emulator for RISC/Ultrix. The answer is
	yes. There is a product called SoftPC from Insignia corporation that
	you can order from DECdirect here in the states. I don't know if
	Insignia Corp. (Reading, England) has any issues with license or
	distribution in the Netherlands, so I don't know if you can order
	it from DECdirect there.

	Does it work? Yes. I haven't tripped over a DOS application that it
	fails on yet (but I'm not heavy into DOS). Performance is pretty
	reasonable for software emulation and I've been told that the 
	support for Microsoft Windows is pretty good too.

	Best of luck.

				Thanx,
				  AJ
