Date: 1 Apr 1993 17:36:30 GMT Organization: University of Karlsruhe, Germany Lines: 45 Distribution: world Message-ID: <1pf96u$q8v@iamk4515.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de> NNTP-Posting-Host: iamk4515.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de Keywords: WINDOWS, WINUX, UNIX, linux X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL9] And now it's time for something you have been waiting for a long, loooong time: Macrosoft proudly presents: WINUX, the one and only WINDOWS(TM)-Emulator for Linux. WINUX has been tested on a lot of hardware platforms, a lot of (secret) beta-testing went along, and so we are now able to release a first pre-gamma-version to the public. HIGHLIGHTS: - runs most Windows clients out of the box, but still has some problems with most Microsoft applications (undocumented features of Windows are not yet supported). Working clients include: Corel Draw 4.0, AmiPro (Professional Edition), Borland ++C for Windows, Lotus 4-5-6... - Doubles speed by using GNU-C instead of Microsoft C 7.0. (Assembly version is in the pipeline) - Supports all known graphic cards, especially the brand new IBM-MDA-video-adapters. - Super-easy-installation. All you have to do is boot the first disk. Everything else is menu-driven. - Hole system fits on only ten 3.5-disks, including all clients of the original WINDOWS-distribution. - For your leisure, there is a stripped version of WING-Commander as screen-saver (only dog fights, no story). And now for the most important part: WINUX is available for FREE at lipra.eth.irfst.edu in /pub/Systems/UNIX/Linux/GammaTest/windows/WINUX login as user Gill , password Bates And be sure to have some free space on your workstation left...
