In localhost.freebsd.questions you write: >Is there a commercial WABI (Windows binary emulation) available for >FreeBSD? If so, what is it called, who makes it, how much does it cost >(if it matters, I am a full-time [community] college student), and where >can I get more information on it, and possibly order it? I don't know of any commercial ones for FreeBSD. I do know that both WINE and Willows are available for free, although I don't think Willows is ported to FreeBSD yet, and WINE is alpha. >Someone told me that some company (Caldera?) makes a commercial WABI for >Linux. Is this true? If so, does anyone know if it will run fine under >the FreeBSD Linux emulation? I believe that someone has licensed Sun's WABI. I don't know if it will run under FreeBSD. >I need it because I would like to run QUICKEN under my FreeBSD session >without having to reboot to (ugh) Win95. My goal is to completely do away >with Win95, and I almost have all of the pieces that I need. Have you looked into an alternative to Quicken, such as cbb ? While it doesn't do everything that Quicken does, AFAIK, it does let you balance your checkbook, and I find it quite nice. There are other alternatives (xfinans, and others) as well. >If it matters, I run 2.2.2-RELEASE. -- bryan k ogawa <bkogawa@primenet.com> http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/
