>>Actually, there is a Windows Emulation program, WINE, available for Intel Linux/Unix X-Windows which will allow you to run a variety of MS Windows and DOS programs. According to its documentation at http://www.winehq.com/about.html, it supports DOS, Win 3.x and Win32 binaries. It is also working on OLE and COM support. Go check out the web page and judge for yourself.

>The last time I used it (about 15 or 16 months ago) the limit of WINE support for Win32 was WIN32s, a very incomplete implementation at best. There are a number of APIs that are not supported under WINE AFAIK, and there's very significant overhead to using it, both in terms of memory and execution speed.

Ed,

15 months is a LONG time for an Open Source product with over !40 developers contributing to it!
