I need to run ONE windows app on my Linux box. It's a configuration
program that uses a Borland database engine. I've tried to run it on Wine,
and it gets as far at tables, which I think is where the Borland stuff
kicks in.

Should I spend some time and try to get it to run on Wine, or spend the
$90 US to get Win4lin? Trouble is, I'm pretty sure it requires about 256MB
ram, and possibly a Windows "higher" than Win98.

Any other possiblities? I'm running Mandrake 10.0 on a 900MHz pentium with
256MB RAM.
