Re: Fwd: [opensuse] Re: Is there a linux based program that can handle .drw files?

The second url is a search for MS appliances. None looked like Win 3.1, but maybe one could work. Maybe somebody could make a 3.1 appliance for him? On 7/26/07, Richard Creighton <ricreig@gmail.com> wrote:

Doesn't VMWare have a 30 day trial? Use it to create a Win3.1 appliance, then use the appliance w/ VMWare. On 7/26/07, Chris Worley <worleys@gmail.com> wrote:

VMWare SERVER is FREE forever and doesn't need the player and distributing an appliance with win3.1 on it is probably illegal if distributed but VMWare SERVER is free and legal and he can put his legal copy of Windoze on it an run his old 16 bit apps under Linux while still running other Linux spps at the same time. The player is simply not a very good idea in most cases IHMO, not when Server VMware is available...assuming you are non-commercial. If you are doing it commercially, get the Workstation version and pay the license fee which is well worth it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
