Windows Application Binary Interface
(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.
