Exactly what is WABI?
I gather that it is some sort of Windows emulator which has been
ported to Linux by Caldera from the version by Sun. Is this correct?
If yes, then I have a few questions...
1) Does it run Windows 3.11 programs only, or does it also support
Windows '95/NT programs?
2) Is it 'Windows in a Box' or does it merely run a program at a time
as is the case (sort of) with WINE?
3) How much is it in Australia?
4) Is it in Australia?
5) Where can I get it in Australia? (Resellers - send me email ????)
6) What experiences have people had with it? Any programs have problems
running under it? Is it faster, slower, or much the same as running
Windows?
Of course, if my initial assumption was incorrect then all these questions
needn't be answered!
Thanks in advance,
Mark Mickan
