Wine is a way to run "Windows" programs on Linux and FreeBSD (and other systems). This is its homepage: https://www.winehq.org/ It's very convenient to provide specific environments for "Windows" programs (see "winecfg" program) so no "Windows" is needed. It works for "boring office applications" as well as for games, as long as there isn't too much actual "Windows" interfaces required. On the FreeBSD side, it's usually # pkg install wine and then use % winecfg as a user to create / configure the required environment. After that, you just do % wine MYPROG.EXE from a terminal (to observe possible errors on the way). > My goal is to test in parallel for at least a couple > of months.

This should also be possible. Keep in touch with your "people up the pipe" to make sure this won't cause any mess. ;-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
