RE: exe files

["Mark W. Knecht" <mknecht controlnet com>]

Steve,
   You might try out Win4Lin. It's far less expensive than VMware and
works well for me.

   Vijaya didn't convey whether his .exe files were DOS or Windows
programs. I've never used it, but isn't there a DOS emulators in 
most Linux distributions?

A couple of resources that should be able to get you going are either
www.winehq.com or www.vmware.com.  VMWare works, but I don't like
contaminating Linux with that nasty Windoze stuff.  Also I belive there
is no permission in most Windoze licenses to to run the software under
anything under Windoze, so you might be breaking the license agreement
by running it under Linux or whatever else.  One of the cool things
about Linux and everything under the GPL is that you don't have to worry
about getting sued or feel bad about doing anything unethical.  Besides
I refuse to pay VMWare for their $200 or so license fee.  Wine I hear 
can work, but I have not tried it personally, although I have seen it
work.
