Only Win16 programs. I've successfully run Microsoft Office, CorelDraw
and a few other programs under Wabi on my Solaris box and with exactly
the same results on my Linux box.

It runs progman.exe (Program Mangager) so it's essentially Windwos in
a Box.

Visit the Caldera web site.

Well, it's slower than running native Win16, however I find it pretty
fast on a box that runs Win95 to run Win16 apps (that is the slow-down
is barely noticeable and doesn't worry me in the least).

I've run it on a 486-DX66 w/16MB no probs just as I currently run it
on a PPro 200 w/64.

hope this helps,
