SoftWindows is an Operating System emulator that will let you run MS-
DOS and Microsoft Windows-based applications in a window on your
Macintosh.

 * It includes:
   * Improved performance over SoftPC with Windows - SoftWindows for Macintosh uses the latest technology from Insignia, which gives a boost of up to 30% in Windows applications. On the fastest 68k-based Macs, this gives approximately the performance of an entry-level 386 PC.
   * Improved SmartCopy - the Windows utility that links the Macintosh and Windows clipboards now allows bi-directional transfer of text and bitmap graphics data between PC and Macintosh applications.
   * Improved networking - the list of supported network operating systems now includes Banyan VINES and DEC PATHWORKS, so you can connect to Novell NetWare, LAN Manager, LAN Server, Windows NT Advanced server, Banyan VINES and DEC PATHWORKS servers. Also, using Novell's LAN Workplace for DOS, you can connect to UNIX file-servers through TCP/IP.
