I am a computer science student at a school which does programming on unix boxes and assembly language programming on the PC. I just got SoftWindows98 for my Powerbook 500 (Pismo) which says it emulates a pentium mmx cpu. (Does this mean I can / Has anyone been able to) program x86 assembly language code on my mac through SoftWindows?

I don't know about assembly language, but M$ Visual C++ works just swell on my G3/266 w/Virtual PC.

Yes. Essentially it is a PC, within the window of SoftWindows. You can run compilers, assembler and PC software from CD-ROM's provided they are for the same version of Windows. Even install Office 97 (I can't think why you'd do that though).
SoftPC is a little different, it is more a PC emulation - it ships with Win98 SE but I've seen NT4 installed on it and even Linux (a PC version that is, not a mac version !).
Cheers...

IIRC SoftPC is very old and shipped with DOS or Windows 3.1. Bondi blue, do you mean Virtual PC?
