About Personal Win4Lin Session Configurations
Use the Personal Win4Lin Session Configuration window to view, modify, or create
an environment in which Win4Lin Windows session will run.
Two default environment configurations come with Win4Lin:
- A configuration named dos is the default environment for running
DOS sessions.
- A configuration named win is the default environment for running
Windows sessions.
Win4Lin is fully configurable, so you can create other personal
configurations that define the DOS and Windows session environments according
to your specifications.
Each configuration is saved under a unique name.
