[cad-linux] anyone tried win4lin?

Hi all,

Just wanted to post a note to say that several months ago I installed 
Win4lin on my SUSE 9.2 system.  This is not newsworthy in and of itself, 
except that last week I tried to see how Intellicad 5 ran on it.  I have 
to say that so far everything functions exactly as it should; all lisp 
routines, drawing, etc.  On the Intellicad install I had an error 
message about the Visual Basic module - but I think that was caused by 
me not selecting VB when I installed Windows into Win4lin.  It's not 
free, but for 5 licenses for $80 it is not far off. 

I know this is not a perfect solution, but in the US is is fairly easy 
to find someone who no longer has a use for an old W98 CD (required for 
win4lin). They ususally willing to part with them for free just to be 
rid of them.  I understand that there is a new version of win4lin out 
there that does not require a custom kernel and also runs WinXP.  For 
now I am extremely happy with my old version.
