[Steve Davidson]

Pathworks clients exist for Windows NT, Windows for Workgroups, MS-DOS, MacOS (Motorola chipsets), and OS/2.

I'll upload the sales thing, but I don't have pathworks for MacOS. It just mentioned it. Also it insinuated that OS/2 had one as well, although I'm kind of skeptical.

 In the middle it does mention pathworks for MacOS.  Does anyone know

if it was a separate product like pathworks for MS-DOS or later Windows
NT was?

 
 And the team link software, I suspect it was a big deal to roll out?

I get the impression it ran on the MIPS based hardware, and maybe the
VAX?  Anyone ever use it?  It looks like it may have been an enterprise
contender, well until the rise of NT.

 
 The demo presentation is for MS-DOS, I can send it to anyone if they

want it, it's about 2MB uncompressed.

 

 
 The DEC Pathworks for Mac OS, given the date, was naturally for the

Pre OS X versions. I ran it on Mac OS 8 and 9 when I worked at Wright
Labs in Dayton.  I don't know if it would work in the Classic
environment available in OS X 10.1-10.4, I suspect not.  I believe it
was a separate product but I don't have any documentation left to prove
it.

You can run OS 8 and 9 in SheepShaver and Apple have released System
7.5. for free download.

Also you can probably score an ancient G3 iBook for next to nothing off
eBay.

Archive the disks PLEASE, I might seriously have a go with hooking up a
Classic Mac and having a play..

RE: Amigas, I believe there���s a product called TSSnet, I was given disks
to it but the second was faulty and the registration key is calculated
on the basis of your DECNET address so it didn���t work out.
