I don't know if there is a > "win98" argument to ``--winver'', if not you could try "in95". 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?
