 CEO of Caldera, Inc. "Customers can now create a powerful and economical
 information system by combining the Linux-based Internet/networking
 environment with Windows 3.1 desktop applications. Wabi on Caldera
 OpenLinux increases office and telecommuter productivity by expanding
 the network through high-speed connections to anywhere you need to be."
 Wabi is supported on the Caldera Network Desktop as well as Caldera
 OpenLinux.
