As far as I know, I have tried it successfully (at least with some
sheets). I'm not a Schema user, though, so I may not have delved as
deeply as you.
However, you may find that Aemulor helps, albeit that performance does
drop quite considerably.
I wrote to Dave Holden before he died about re-compiling his software
for use on modern hardware, and got a rather non-commital reply. I've
mentioned it to David Bradforth and Aaron subsequently, and again it
is difficult to get a formal answer. I suspect that not all code is
available, and things are still up in the air. There seems to be a
desire to make much of the APDL stuff available for free, but I'm not
sure where that will leave things in terms of support etc. going
forward... :(
As for Fireworkz, the author is still around, and seems to like
programming during the winter months, so it might be worth making a
wishlist for him. If no-one asks for a feature, it's unlikely to be
implemented...!
Kind wishes,
Andrew
