I have no difficulty running Lunar SVGA on a conventional networked PC but is that the real problem? Is it that your computer services people want to install Lunar on the server to allow it to run on any of the networked machines? Dolphin's products are well protected with a system of moveable tokens and to allow installation on a server would presumably compromise that and therefore it would be surprising if Dolphin supported it. The demo version of Lunar runs very happily from floppy disk. Could you install your full version onto a floppy and have the student carry it around with them? Or if not a floppy, how about a ZIP drive or more expensive still an external hard disk?
