My children's school will be (hopefully) starting to incoporate Logo into
the computer curriculum next year. They are looking at
using MSWLogo; unfortunately, there does not appear to be a Mac version for
them to use at home (I currently use Terrapin). I
was planning to use Virtual PC to emulate a PC on my Mac. Has anyone used
Virtual PC and MSWLogo? Would the Windows
98 version of Virtual PC be sufficient to run MSWLogo? Which MSWLogo
version should I download? TIA

Hi Jim,

I have been using MSWLogo for some time on Macs. I have used it
with both Softpc and Virtual PC. With a relatively modern Mac
(Powerpc) it works great. With lower end machines, it works better
than nothing.

I hope this helps.

At school I have iMacs and we do run the Virtual PC (the Dark Side as I
call it), MSWLogo runs just fine on it. You may have to
fiddle with the memory allocations a bit. I have not tried to print logo
documents from the dark side but i suppose that you could.

Jim,

For kids that have a Mac at home, go to the Logo Foundation site and
download a copy of UCBLogo, freeware that runs on a Mac. I
also recommend PowerMath Logo, a LogoWriter clone which is available
through New Directions Math; Jim Baker is the man to contact.
This is commercial but it is reasonable and is perfect for the Mac.
