Issue I465 [80,mostlyresolved]
  Formal support for Parallels on Intel-based Mac OS X.

  OVERVIEW: As of December 2007, SIS is formally supporting running
  the Windows version of SIMION 8.0.x on Intel-based Mac OS X via a
  third-party application called Parallels Desktop for Mac (
  http://www.parallels.com/en/products/desktop/ ).  This means that
  this combination generally runs quite well, and has been tested by
  SIS.  You could run into a few minor issues as discussed below, but
  SIS can help with some setup questions and intends to patch SIMION
  if any significant incompatibilities are discovered.  For other
  methods of running SIMION on a Mac, see Issue I463.

  VERSION COMPATIBILITY: SIS testing was performed on the following
  configuration.  Newer versions, as well as older versions, likely
  work as well (or better), and other users have already successfully
  tried other versions.

    Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac on Intel-based Mac OS X 10.4.
    running Windows 2000.
    SIMION 8.0.3/8.0.4.

  PERFORMANCE: Refining and flying run at roughly native speeds.

  MEMORY: PA size of 125M points works.  Using --reserved-memory
  only allows minor increases (e.g. 150M points).
