Installing WABI, really needs MS Windows?
#3

I have just got WABI for Linux and want to install it.
The instructions for installing WABI say that WABI wants to
install MSWindows in a specified directory.  I already have
MSWindows running on a DOS partition.  Is it possible to have
WABI use the existing MSWindows?  Otherwise, I will need to
reinstall MSWindows 3.0 and then the upgrade to 3.1 since I
only have 3.1 as an upgrade package.  Can anyone who has had
this problem advise me?  Will WABI do an install and then an
upgrade for MSWindows? 

Thanks,

WABI needs some *.dll files to run; understandably, they didn't
want to reverse-engineer those.

I don't have WABI, but I suspect if you can figure out which
*.dlls are needed, simply copying them to "specified directory"
_should_ do the trick (mind you, I'm not saying "will".)  ;-)
