yes, try `wine'. It runs Win32,Dos and win 3.* binaries on Linux.(I even
played age of conquerors on Linux with Wine :-) But I really don't know
whether it can run your Delphi applications or not. Give it a try.

1) use "http://www.google.com/linux" as your search engine
2) search for "wine" and then "vmware"

I understand that you installed Wine and winex. So, you get any error
messages or just the system stops responding? It would be helpful if you
can post the error messages and stuff.

Hi again

I get for instance a error message 3581 when trying to run a program but
this is not the only message

I get also a black screen quite often and have to re boot by the on/off
button as unable to get back to KDE

do you know how to get around this black screen

thanks

CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE should restart the X server without a reboot.
