The Willows port is currently being handled by the Willows people, they picked up on our work a month or so ago. We took the port a most of the way. I'm hoping that when the latest sources appear on their ftp server, FreeBSD support will be included. The latest binaries have been up for a few weeks, but who knows where the source is?

I know the Willows people say its not intended as a competitor for Wabi, but more as an aid to porting apps from Windows to Unix. On the other hand, I've heard other people say it will run Word & Excel. So what exactly will its emulator run?
