<h3>Can I run Windows applications under Linux?</h3>
<P> An excellent summary of the current state of:
<ul>
<li> WINE -- <a href="http://www.winehq.com/">www.winehq.com</a>
<br>designed to allow win32 binaries to be run directly
<li> DOSEMU -- <a href="http://www.dosemu.org/">www.dosemu.org</a>
<br>this is really an environment to run a copy of DOS inside it
<li> and some other Windows/DOS emulators of the time
</ul>
<p>...was in issue #44, The Answer Guy,
<A HREF=../../issue44/tag/1.html>"Running Win '95 Apps under Linux"</A>.
Admittedly it has been a while but both projects still exist and are
doing very well indeed.
<P>There is also a program called VMware
(<A HREF=http://www.vmware.com>www.VMWare.com</A>)
which lets you run several "virtual computers" concurrently as applications,
each with its own Operating System. There is a
<A HREF=http://www.linuxjournal.com/lj-issues/issue63/3458.html>review</A>
in <I>Linux Journal</I> about it.
<p>You might consider Bochs
(<a href="http://www.bochs.com/">www.bochs.com</a>), which also works on
non-Intel hardware and the BSD family.</p>
