Someone had mentioned to me once that there was some sort of project underway to run windows apps under Linux. Does anyone know anything about this? Does it exist?

Wine is what you are looking for. It works with varying degrees of success with some apps. www.winehq.com -- Bob F EMail FBob@wt.net A Truly Wise Man Never Plays Leapfrog With A Unicorn... -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

There was WABI, but it works for 16 bit apps. It is out of production. In fact, Sun Microsystems, the developer, ordered Caldera, the Linux supplier, to destroy all copies that remained. Oh well. There is Twin. Don't know anything about it. There is WINE. It is still under development, severely crippled by the lack of documentation for the Windows API. www.wine.org There is vmware, which sets up a virtual machine under the host operating system and lets you run other operating systems under the host. This is very popular now, and comes on the SuSE CD's (boxed set). Their focus is on getting business apps to work and not games. I've seen it in operation, and it looks pretty good. It needs a mid- to high-end machine to run it. www.vmware.com Correl's big push, coming this fall, is something called a Windows Bridge, where you can run Windows programs from a Linux server cluster. Obviously, this is not for the average home user. -- George Toft http://www.georgetoft.com -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
When I installed SuSE 6.2, I made the mistake of installing both German and English docs. It then setup the German docs as the standard docs. I went back and removed the German Docs using YaST, but the German docs are still there and they continue to come up as the standard for the help system. Any ideas how I can fix this?

You're referring to a package called wine. It's in the emulators package set on most LInux distributions including SuSE. There's a usenet newsgroup supporting it, comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine. The main web site for the package is http://winehq.com As to whether it works - sort of. It is officially in alpha release, and as far as I can recall nobody has predicted a beta release any time this year. It works with some Windows software. Some software crashes it. Some software just doesn't run right, or runs right to a point but then has issues. (E.g. changing CDs in a multi-CD game.) Development is active, however. There is a major alpha release in the last few days of every month. For the hard-core, there are minor alpha releases daily. If you want something reasonably stable that can be installed on SuSE without a lot of twisting around, only get releases from www.SuSE.com (they are rather less frequent). -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Anyone know about Mainsoft's product called MainWin for Linux? Their website claims they've included several million lines of the Windows source code into their product, which allows Windows programs to be developed under Unix and Linux. (I seem to remember Microsoft buying them, but I'm not sure. I know they licensed the Windows source code.) -- --- George's View on Computer Security --- There are *only* two levels of security: a) Paranoid; and b) None.
