888 Joy's tip is true, however I will add a caveat that Virtual PC is not for the faint of heart in computer matters. Installation and operation may require some effort, and the resulting performance and reliability will not always match having the PC program on a PC machine. All normal functions like printing, etc. initially require effort to set up, and operations such as cutting and pasting have their own rules which must be learned. That being said, Virtual PC does allow running RADAR, for example, on one's Mac, and thus keep from having to have two whole computer systems
with printer, etc. Thus Kent programs such as MACREPERTORY can be run on the same desktop as RADAR.

Archibel made their programs for MAC as well as PC up to their RADAR version 7, and then gave up on MAC. Very unfortunate, but a resource decision they probably made based on number of units sold and cost accounting, and it is hard to fault them if that is the case. However, it limits availability to the large population of homeopaths who principally use macintosh systems. Those wishing to go the Virtual PC route are advised to be computer savvy or have local help. The RADAR customer service is willing to help those using Virtual PC and are very helpful folk in my
experience, but to avoid a time sink, have a local computer savvy person on hand if you can to assist if computers are not your first love.

Best,
Andy
