About two years ago I switched from DOS/Windows to Linux/X, and nothing could
persuade me to go back. Yet there are a few things which I still need before I
can remove Bill Gates from my hard disks totally:

1. I have a rather large DBASE 3+ database with lots of programs (written by
   myself). I know there are excellent database systems like My SQL but: Is
   there a database system with a GUI, maybe even one which could convert the
   DBASE data and programs?

2. What is the easiest way to run a small Windows application under X?

3. Is there a What You See Is What You Get word processor for Linux?

Thanks to anyone who does not mind answering silly questions like these and who
is willing to assist a Linux novice in ridding his machine of MS.
