Quasar Distribution is pleased to announce the release of PC-Task 4, by
Chris Hames.  This latest release includes some exciting changes and
major speed increases.  The most important of these is the full FPU 
emulation.  Also, large speed increases are included with the Dynamic
version (Windows, Doom, etc. is much faster loading and running).

Version 4.3 introduces Windows 95 support and a much higher level of
compatibility. 64Mb RAM can now be used under DOS.

With 80486 compatibility, now you are able to run that much needed
software, and with the development of Dynamic Compilation you are able 
to experience major speed increases over previous versions.  PC-Task is
the fatest PC software emulation available on the Amiga, and is a 
necessity if you need to run PC software.

See below for a full wrap-up.
