The hardware requirements are steep. You must have a VGA monitor and card and a mouse. DA runs the program in the 256-color, 320 X 200 VGA mode. Also, the manufacturer recommends that you have at least a 286-based computer or faster, and you must have a hard drive to hold the program's three megabytes of data. (Actually, the manufacturer encourages you have to five megabytes of free hard disk space.)
