Maybe you're right (I'm sure you're right :-) but it's better to
have 2 projects (WINE and willows) than only one. My last experiences
with WINE are not very well. It seems wine is the only program that
could crash FreeBSD in an easy way (specifying a wrong pathname to the
Windows program wine should start).
Perhaps the new version 2.0 of xwin is more stable and it seems
(don't really know) that there is more progress than on the WINE
project, isn't it?
However where can I get the diffs for FreeBSD? Who is involved in
this project, is there a mailing-list?
So that more than enough questions. Hope you can answer some of them.
Thanks and regards
Lars
