If so, how? You can run Win 3.1 applications under Linux x86 and Solaris with the Wabi package. You can get Linux-Wabi from Caldera (www.caldera.com) and it comes with Solaris. You might be able to run Wabi under Linux-emulation under Net/FreeBSD, but I have not ever tried this. The other possibility is to use WINE, the Windows Emulator, which has some success with running Windows 3.x applications in standard-mode. YMMV. -- Michael Parson BL.ORG DNRC
