  Windows Application Binary Interface
  Wabi
  
     <operating system, tool> (WABI) A software package from Sun Microsystems
      to allow certain Microsoft Windows
     applications under the X Window System.  Wabi 2.2 runs under
     Solaris on SPARC, Intel, and PowerPC.  Wabi works by
     providing translated versions of the three core Windows
     libraries, user.dll, kernel.dll, and gdi.dll which
     redirect Windows calls to Solaris equivalents.  For code other
     than core library calls Wabi either executes the instructions
     directly on the hardware, if it is Intel, or emulates them,
     either one instruction at a time or by translating a block of
     instructions and caching the result (e.g. for a loop).
  
     WabiServer allows the Windows application and X display to
     be on different computers.
