infantile form, and I think the Linux kernel was something like 0.92


At that time there was a real emulator of sorts called WABI (Windows
Application Binary Interface). I think it was developed by Sun, and of
course it was Windows 3.1 at the time. WABI treated Intel instructions
as bytecode on non i386 systems, and provided the Win3.1 API. I remember
having to use it to read a Word for Windows document when I had an IBM
RS/6000 Model 220 on my desk, running AIX 4.something.
