Hello,

I recall that Steve Hurl* expressed, not long ago, that it would be
useful to run MS Office on Linux. I thought I might point out that
SunSoft of Sun Microsystems has Solaris 2.5 available for the *86
architecture; Solaris can run WABI, which is capable of running quite
a number of Windows applications, but only those developed for Windows
3.*. For a URL with information, goto http://www.yahoo.com and search
for 'Solaris'. BYTE magazine had a review of WABI in the summer of 1995,
encouragingly entitled 'A Less Wobbly WABI'.

(I have no affiliation with Sun.)
