  14. I seem to have lost the ref, but for those of you looking at doing
  15. Windows stuff under linux, remember,  you don't *HAVE* to windows.
  16. You just need something that will convert Windows API calls to X
  17. calls.  Admittedly, this is a *HUGE* API, but as big as X is, there
  18. ought to be something like a straight translation for some reasonable
  19. number of entry points.  You would also probably need a process
  20. sitting out there to keep track of Windows specific information, but
  21. that would be a relatively tiny thing.
