However, it should run on Windows 95/98, I think, or in the "MS-DOS mode" of Win98. Another option is running it under DOSBox (free DOS emulator) / MS Virtual PC / VMware (both commercial "x86 emulator" programs that allow to run another OS within Windows XP). I don't know about the Mac version of Mathematica, however. -- Thanks/obrigado, Renan "Wishmaster" Birck - Canoas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil MSN: wizard_of_yendor at hotmail.com Orkut: http://www.orkut.com/Profile.aspx?uid=2202360379963855296
