Hi, stephen. You won't find, by now, free SW that emulates Windows 95/NT with all the capabilities/compatibility you need for these native SWs, but, instead, you will find dozens of SWs which do exactly the same, and more. Usually they do a lot better than Windows based SWs. In short: you will have OHTER tools which are compatible/do the same thing, but you - as a rule - won't be able to run THE application itself. (you have tools to play with ZIP files, which are not WinZIP, ok ?). Give FBSD a try, get used to it and send your Windows to the trash can. :) See YA !
