If you can't find a demo or the testdrive version of GW1.2, try
to grab a used copy of the ver1.2. It WILL run on a 286 just
hunky-dory. It will even run on an XT class machine. The newer
demo must be of the ver 2.0, and it does require at lest a 386.
Possibly even a copy of the shareware "GeoPublish" may have
enough of the GeoManager to add the AOL icon and run it from that
interface. I personally can attest to the fact of ver 1.2 running
on an xt, up, as I did run it on one, then upgraded to a 286, and
watched it fly. Then came the 386sx, and ver 2.0, followed by a
486dx4-120 and ver 2.01....seems really impressive on this class
machine, kinda makes me wonder how it will do on a pentium or
better...he he he ...
