- The 95LX is a mostly IBM PC compatible MS-DOS machine so it will
- probably run whatever software you can get to fit. The main limitation
- is that it doesn't have a CGA display, it has MDA (what IBM had on the
- first IBM PC) which only displays 40x16 of a virtual 80x25 display.
- There is also a non-standard graphics mode.
-
- People have had little trouble in getting programs to work compiled
- with the various Microsoft, Borland, and other compilers.
-
- EduCALC also sells a database manager which may be dBase compatible.
- I don't know of any dBase compatible software written specificaly
- for the 95.
