I just installed Wabi on my SuSE 5.3 machine, which has been dual
boot, Linux and Win3.1, for years.  The reason for the Win3.1 has
been solely to run one application, and now I'm hoping Wabi will
eliminate the need for booting dos/mswin ever again.  So, in
anticipation of running this app under Wabi, I'm trying to figure out
how to "install" the app without actually digging out the old app
disks, if they even still function, and wiping out all the
configuration that's gone on within this thing over the years.  This
old 16-bit version is no longer current/supported by the app vendor,
and I want to stay with the version I run, for many reasons. 

I assume I need to move the application files from the dos partition
to a "drive" that's actually a directory in my home filesystem,
and that I need to add stuff in wabi's .ini file to let wabi know
of the app.  What else do I need to do?  I also assume that all
future activity will take place in e2fs-land, and that once I'm
comfortable that the app is running correctly, I can reclaim that
dos partition for Linux use.  Yes?

The app uses a hardware dongle on the parallel port.  Does this
mean I need to configure printing in wabi?  If so, how, exactly?
I don't have a printer connected to this machine, just the dongle,
so I've never bothered configuring any dos printing.

Sorry if this is a FAQ; I haven't seen it in the list recently.
Thanks in advance for any help.
