REPLY: 
That raises a couple of questions.

1. If you were starting DXLab now, making it platform-independent, could you
incorporate MMTTY into it? In other words, can MMTTY be made to run on other
platforms?

+++ That depends on your definition of "be made to run". Without changing
the source code? Probably not. Changing the source code and the user
interface? Certainly.

and

2. I only know a little about virtual machines. If I wanted to experiment
with this, could you suggest an appropriate virtual machine for DXLab?

+++ Yes: see
