What is WABI?
WABI is “Windows Application Binary Interface.” WABI 2.2 runs old 16-bit native MS Windows 3.x programs (no support is planned for 32-bit Win 9x/NT programs). I would guess the the Sun WABI Technical Knowledge Base would be the best place to find the latest answers about WABI. If you are going to be running WABI on the Intel boxes, at least have 8 MB more than you would use in a normal system. So if you have 16 MB this means you really want 24 MB of memory if you are going to be running 1 WABI session. In my opinion it is worth it just to bite the bullet and get the 32 MB of memory.
