Can you tell me how much of Office 97 works with WINE? What of Lose 3.1
applications? I hope MS Windows 6, but I suspect that is a forlorn hope.
It has been a while since I heard anything about WINE.
There is also the Willow project. Different philosophy from WINE, as I
understand. There may have been changes since I looked (it has been a
while.) I recall that Willow had more success with Lose 95, whereas WINE
works primarily with Lose 3.1.
Non-free WABI may still be available from Caldera for their version of
Linux. It is possible that it works with Debian through Alien. I recall
that it works will with Lose 3.1 Office applications, and others.
Maybe someone else will add to this and perhaps correct my errors.
