  Comment-one: it's great to see the Free-unix movement picking up
  speed.  

  Comment-two: eventually, hopefully these apps will be recompiled for 
  FBSD.  

  My questions are: can I, using the linux-compat libs, use the Linux
  Encyclopedia on my FreeBSD system?  Had anybody heard of the Caldera
  WABI?  I don't have many dos/win apps, but can get gigabytes of them
  Win 3.X free or cheap.

  To spare the questions group junk, please send any feedback on what's 
  happening to the chat mailing list and cc me.
