- I know, Linux is cool, but one needs NT to run apps... for now.
- (If only NT weren't such a darn resource hog - makes a 32 MB system seem
- like it has only 8-16...)

- I think Mat's working on a version which is more of a pure DPMI
- client which dosen't use go32 (it uses a new version of DJGPP in alpha
- right now).

- Actually, Word for Mac came out first, and only in Version 6.0
- did it become a (slow!) port of the Windoze version. From what I hear,
- Word/Mac 6.0 dooozzzzeeeeessss on real macs, and needs system 7 so it
- won't work on Executor (like I'd even run it on a real Mac :)
-
- Although, Mac Word did become more like Word in 5.0 (kinda like
- WinWord 1.5, it seems... some parts are 1.1, and others are like 2.0)

- that it might work better (and if it didn't he'd send the details of the
- DPMI calls used so dosemu could be enhanced.)

- BTW, I got DOOM II to run (slowly) under dosemu, but now that
- there's linux(x/s)doom...
