[ale] FUD - Re: [ale] Solaris apps on linux

[John Wells]

Good point.  Short and sweet is that I've talked my
company into allowing RedHat on developer
workstations, but I'm charged with making sure our
applications will run successfully.  The only wall
I've hit so far is with remedy ars (www.remedy.com). 
I've had some success with wine and remedy but the
install states I have to have winsock2 support, which
I'll be looking into today (any help is appreciated). 
Remedy releases a client for Solaris, which is why I
was interested in Solaris/Linux compatibility.  Taking
the processer differences into consideration, I think
wine is probably the only possible solution.

Thanks!

John
