Heck, Wine runs a lot more than that on mine.  I can run write, clock,
notepad (and lots of other useless ones), winhelp (there are a few bugs,
but this one is really helpful when I want to access my MSVC help file
since the man support under Linux isn't that descriptive).  It will even
run Works, but it has some major display updating problems and it dumps
core when I exit (but I can type something up, save it to floppy, bring
it up on the computer with a printer, and print it, which is what I had
to do using Win3.1, too).
