It is by no means free, but seems to work reasonably well. It really needs a fast 286 or a good 386 to be useful. There is (or at least was) a version for PCs, but it is S..L..O..W and runs out of X resources very fast. The 286/386 version does protected mode so it can make use of extended memory. Price is around $250, I think.
