I am pretty sure the answer is "No".
I think the state-of-the-art is to generate an image from whatever you
are wanting to trace and use the image tools in tpsDig2.
FWIW. The DOS DS-DIGIT program (available from
life.bio.sunysb.edu/morph) used to support several popular digitizers
and might work today in a virtual machine, though the interface is
digitizer-specific. That program was written in Turbo Pascal that for
some reason did a CPU speed check at startup. Eventually, CPUs became
too fast for that built-in operation and the old DOS Pascal programs
began to fail. Years ago, I was able to run the programs by loading the
CPU with other tasks to slow them down enough for the programs to boot.
I no longer support these pascal programs, but get a kick out of running
them sometimes in virtual machines. I had good success with the free
VirtualBox on Linux. It is worth it to me, though, to invest in a
commercial product. I used vmware workstation on Linux and, now, Fusion,
on OS X. As for a DOS, I recall I successfully ran GRF-ND on FreeDOS
installed on a VirtualBox vm on Suse Linux last year.

Hello all,
Does anyone know if tpsDig2 allows the use of a digital tablet to
manually trace outlines? I assume that it would, but am checking before
I buy one.
Thanks,
Lindsay
