Ideally, I would like to get rid of my Win-95 partition (I dual boot
between that and FBSD 2.2)...but I need to run wordperfect 6 for DOS, or
one of the windows versions. Wine doesn't seem to be up to the task at
this point, and pcemu won't work with version 6 for DOS.
I'd really like to stick with a BSD if possible...what are my other
options for going windowless short of running Linux?
