The comparison ends with vmware express and win4lin. vmware workstation runs multiple OS's at the same time. IE. *BSD of any flavor, , Linux of any flavor, Windows of any flavor. -----Original Message----- From: harry5oh@mail.bcpl.net [mailto:harry5oh@mail.bcpl.net]On Behalf Of harry amarantidis Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2001 1:25 PM Cc: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] Windows emulator for Linux I have been using win 4lin for quite a while and am quite pleased. I think it is faster than vmware. I am using suse 7.2 on amdk6-3 450 with 256 megs. Win4lin uses the linux filesystem and not one huge file as with vmware. I think for what you need win4lin is o.k. as with money they do give a money back guarantee if you are not satisfied. My boss runs a similar configuration running autocad 14 with win4lin. It is as fast if not faster than native win98. Win4lin can use up to a maximum of 64 meg memory which is plenty fast. (even 16megs will work because it also uses additional memory through linux) does not hurt to try it. harry "W.D.McKinney" wrote:
Screen redraws would be due to system resources, not vmware entirely. It's very fast on my system.

Hi
What would be a good win-98 emulator for Linux? Is it vmware of win4lin?
I have tried the vmware that comes with SuSE, but I found it to be quite slow what comes to screen handling.
Reason is that my spouse wants to go to Linux, but one bookkeeping
software
and banking software needs win-98.
We are also ready to pay for this sw...
Jaska.
