They should be no less than 486DX's with a minimum of 8MBs of RAM. While Delphi and PdoxWin will run it will be painfully slow.

They should be no less than 486DX's with a minimum Well, we'll probably get some 486s donated when they're sufficiently obsolete. ... But I expect it'll be a while.

AW> There's a 3rd party "PAL COMPILER" program highly acclaimed by some, AW> mixed Reviews by others, called Turbo Pal. It creates 1-3 Meg Ahh yes. I remember got that post card from Target also. I think I heard the price has dropped too? Maybe down to under $400? AW> Executables (so you'll need some hefty RAM on your older computers). Well, more RAM is more of a possibility than new motherboards, but Delphi (with educational discount) is only $100 as opposed to 4 times that for TurboPAL. The plus is, of course, compiling existing scripts without learning a new language. The negative, a DOS ap instead of a Windows ap. But still an option.
