The best route I've found, is to use two entirely different drives. Install
Linux on one, and Windog on the other, then switch if needed during boot up.
That's the most reliable method.

Conversely, with the same setup, you can run Linux as the base OS, and call up
and run Windoze proggies with the Caldera Linux WABI package.

Another way, that doesn't require a Windoze installation, is to use a program
called, "Wine", to run a Windog prog on Linux. You will still need some Windog
formatted disk space for files.

I've also heard of something called, "Win2Lin", for running Windoze on Linux,
but I haven't been able to find it, or anything about it, so far.

As to how good a job any of these will do with program(X), you'll just have to
try them out and see. I'm not sure about WABI, but I know that the Wine users
maintain a db of the 3 or 4 hundred, "best", proggies to work with.
