I never tried this Wine stuff. Does this mean you have to have a Win 9x
installation including Word, then you mount this slice in FBSD, cd to it and
run it?
Is it possible to run it without a Win9x installed on the machine, just
plain FBSD? What about NT instead of Win 9x?
Will Word 6 do better or worse than Word 95/97 ? I always thought Wine would
emulate Win 3.x  (so only 16bit software, no 32bit).
Is there some documentation about the status of the Wine emulation?


Very curious

Siegbert
