Summary:PC Ditto


   	I own PC-Ditto, which works as adverised. It will run any
software that a run-of-the-mill IBM clone can. I have run several titles
for the IBM and have run into no problems. However, as you might know,
PC-Ditto's only fault is speed. It's no peed deamon, and you may be
shocked to see it kludge along after using a 12mz IBM machine.
	I got it as a gift, and I don;t use it much. Unless you already
have lots of IBM software and no IBM machine to run it on would I
reccomend you getting PC Ditto. It works, but it's no subsitute for a
actual IBM.
	I have found lots of software, PD or otherwise, that suits my
needs for the Atari, so there is not a lot of IBM software that I find
essential to have.
	However, as you can get it for a mere  $65 if you shop right, it
is an interesting hack and is fun to show to your friends (See what my
St can do?).
