Note:  The StarNine utilities packages made it completely painless to
try all these programs out since you get a Standard File like dialog
that allows you to move files from a MacOS part. to your A/UX file
system.  For ~$90 is it well worth the price.  You can buy it direct
from StarNine or through APDA.

I understand that the next release of A/UX will do a much more
complete job at emulating the MacOS (i.e. most programs should run).
I expect that many of us are looking forward to such an improvement.

Applications that I have found to run under A/UX 1.01 are:

	MacScheme+Toolsmith
	MacDraw 1.9.5
	TexTures 1.02B
	FullPaint 1.0
	Many, Many Games

Programs that haven't run successfully.

	LSC 3.0
	LSP 1.0
	MacSmalltalk .4
	MacDraw II (dies after a few minutes)
	FullWrite 1.0 (almost makes it)
	Illistrator88
	Pagemaker 3.0
	MacWrite 4.6/5.0
	MacPaint 1.5

Cheers,
