I have Virtual PC 2.1 with Windows 95 here (got it for free with a
special offer from Apple) . I'm running on a 333 G3 here, and I have to
say it performs well... when not running any programs. However, when I
want to run stacks in it with MetaCard, it, well... it gets slow. :)

Yup, this is about it. It's usable to test stacks to see if they
actually work in Windows... one problem is that I've had some very
erratic problems with making standalones. Maybe it's with my relative
stupidity on Microsoft's OS specifics.
However, one question for anyone on the group: how do you set a custom
icon for a Windows program? That's all I have left to do to make my
fishing game cross-platform... having it Mac only for 2 years has made
Mac people happy, but I think it's time to let the other 90% of the world
play it (and, eventualy, but it ;) ) . Thanks in advance!
