But I still need my CAD, C++, QB tools.

So...

Win4Lin the 9x version



CAD: Qcad or 7 others(some free!)

C++: free linux compiler for C++ (from Intel)

QB: ya got me on that one. If you mean Quick Basic, lots of
commands are the same as XBasic. If you mean Quick Books,
try appgen at http://t2100cdt.kippona.net/linux/appgen/

Better yet, give up C++ and Quick Basic in favor of perl/python.
(My WinXP at work came with windows-version python pre-installed)
