Dear Graham,

There's no reason why it should.

Acorn NMR, Tecmag and the group involved with SwaNMR all produce Macintosh NMR
programs, and also either produce or have close links with Windoze products.
The algorithms are the same, the differences come elsewhere. Besides, I'm sure
even PC users would find life less fraught if the GUI guidelines required by
Apple were followed on their programs.

Microsoft even produce a cross-platform compiler, which is how Acorn produce
their program. It doesn't do much for either speed or more importantly style,
but at least it shows willing - more than you get from Bruker Software.
