There are several emulators that will let you run windows
programs under Linux. This can be important where the windows
programs have features/macros that you use a lot. For example my
main statistics program is Excel with the WinStat add-in. Also I
like the BBC script add-ins for Word.

There appear to be several emulators out there.
One that is free is available at

Also an emulator called Wine and another called Win4Lin..

Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

for torturing the cat." Gunner
