[lug] Windows emulator

[carl.wagner at level3.com]

David,

Sun used to resell a product called Wabi that did windows emulation on Sparc
boxes. I don't know if it does anything later than Windoze version 3.1
though.  I "think" there was a version for Linux but I don't know if there was
one for Sparc Linux.

Carl.
