CALDERA SHIPS WABI 2.2 FOR LINUX
New Version Provides Solid, Low-Cost Solution for Running
Windows 3.1 Applications on Linux-based Workstations
PROVO, Utah November 18, 1996
Caldera Inc. today shipped Wabi 2.2 for Linux. Caldera licensed and ported
Sunsoft's Wabi technology to enable end users to run the most popular
Windows 3.1 applications on Linux-based system software. "Wabi 2.2 for
Linux underscores the Caldera OpenLinux product strategy by providing the
end user with the best of both worlds," said Bryan Sparks, President and
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.

revenues by lowering overall cost and system requirements. Pricing and
