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 !
