- It simply can't be done on the Amiga! The reason it works on Mac is first
- of all the bad memory handlings. You have to specify how much memory each program
- can get on a Mac. And only one program have the CPU, although several can be in the
- memory. This differs a lot from the Amiga. It won't work so well on Win3.11 either
- and not at all in win95 because they have more complicated memory allocations than mac.
