WABI how good is it?
Aris Zakinthinos
translate MS Windows API calls into X calls in real time. Has anybody
tried it? Is it any good? How about those calls that somehow made it
into the code but not the docs (i.e. the undocumented calls). I am
curious to here what it is like. If this realy does work then I may
never use MS Windows again!!!! How is it being distributed?
Thanks,
Aris.

It's not available yet!
It's a Windows run time enviroment for Unix boxes - Sun started it and
are going to produce it for their boxes. I don't know who else is looking
to support it...

Well, those of us in the Linux camp are working on a similar project.
It could be extended to run on other Unix operating systems if they
would be willing to provide us with the necessary call to manipulate
the LDT for the process. Perhaps someone using one of the BSD derivatives
would like to get involved with our project? Questions about this
project may be directed toward me.
