Description Jason Bacon 2007-09-20 22:30:44 UTC
Win4BSD is a PC emulator that runs Windows as a guest at nearly native
speed under FreeBSD.  It is based on QEMU, a partially open, partially
closed source emulator package.  However, Win4BSD offers many advantages,
including much greater speed, ease of use, more seamless integration with 
the host OS, and "grabless" mouse transition between the host and Windows
guest.

Win4BSD is the latest port of a product that has previously been known as 
Win4lin and SCO Merge.

This port is a wrapper for automatically downloading and installing the
Win4BSD package.  It will work with or without a Win4BSD license.  If 
you do not have a license, Win4BSD will function for a 3 week trial period.

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

New port added, with modifications (repacks the package instead of 
wrapping, allowing more flexibility regarding PREFIX and the like). 
Thanks!
