I have WABI running under RedHsat 4.0 using Office 4.3.  It all works
fine, except that WABI ties itself to the root window (is sticky), so
you can't move to a different desktop.  I have also been able to get
American Heritage Dictionary to run.  I could not get Canvas, Minicad,
Norton Desktop or a bunch of others to run.  Many apps seem to require
win32 support.  I have not been able to get a response as to when/if
WABI will support 32bit and W95 apps.

But until the filters get made for Applixware, it was the only way I
could make documents and get them integrated into our publishing group.
