Win4lin is a commercial product, I'm not sure of the site as i have never used it. it does seem to be popular though. Wine is an opensource package. it can be downloaded from many places but the home is www.winehq.com (also see www.codeweavers.com). if you're running redhat you might already have it. at a command prompt type: wine --version this will tell you if it is already installed and what version. if it is not installed the i would wager that it is on one of your CDs. one at a time mount them and check the RPMS directory for it. trust me it's there some where. wine comes in many forms: tar.gz, tar.bz, rpm, and deb. you are best off starting with the one that was packaged for your system. later when you get the hang of it, you might try some of the newer releases. hope that helps> dear sir: > > i have read ur newsgroup message, and it gets me > interested! im using linux redhat ver. 7.0 and i heard > about "wine" and "win4lin" but i dont have any idea where > could i get this stuff and how could i install it in my > computer. can u give me some tips? please do, sir. > > thanks in advance! > > bench >-- Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of DOS, and danced the skies on Linux silvered wings. http://pfrostie.freeservers.com/cad-tastrafy/ http://www.freelists.org/list/cad-linux
Hello Win4lin requires you to run a patched kernel, and to install a wersion of MS win98, both win4lin and MS win98 cost money. If this doesnt scare you it is OK, but try wine first, it is easyer to use and install, takes less space, and it is free.
