A Silicon Valley startup claims to have cracked one of most elusive goals of the software industry: a near-universal emulator that
allows software developed for one platform to run on any other, with almost no performance hit.
Transitive Corp. of Los Gatos, California, claims its QuickTransit software allows applications to run "transparently" on multiple
hardware platforms, including Macs, PCs, and numerous servers and mainframes...
