>From http://www.dictionary.com: Emulate [emulator]: 3. Computers. a. to imitate (a particular computer system) by using a software system, often including a microprogram or another computer that enables it to do the same work, run the same programs, etc., as the first. b. to replace (software) with hardware to perform the same task. Simulator: 2. a machine for simulating certain environmental and other conditions for purposes of training or experimentation: a flight simulator. Not a whole lot of difference there.... -jc- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
