You are correct, these work at a very low level. Wabi provides emulation for these APIs. It still requires MS Windows install disks unconditionally at install time. Wabi uses various other components from MS Windows such as the OLE DLLs, applets, fonts, help files and various utilities such as the program manager and file manager. Of course the most important thing it requires is Solitaire. If you would like to discuss this furthur, please join us on the Caldera Wabi email list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
