I guessing that WABI installs into a subdirectory on a normal
Solaris partition (I'm using Solaris 2.5.1 x86).

Is the same thing true for Windows apps under WABI? Or do the
apps themselves have to go onto a DOS partition?

Thanks,

No.
If you are clever and already have them installed in a DOS
partition, it is possible to use those copies rather than
duplicate them on your hard drive.

Hi,
WABI installs into a subdirectory, (/opt/SUNWwabi/), on the Solaris
partition. When you run WABI as a normal user for the first time, you
are prompted to install Windows 3.x this installs into the users home
directory, and so will any other applications.

However, if you have the dos partition mounted you can run applications
directly from there, so the choice is yours. Crazy to install things
twice!!?!??

Hope this helps,

James.
