Corel will integrate GraphOn connectivity software into its
desktop version of the Linux operating system, so users can run
Windows applications.

“Corel signed a deal with GraphOn to use GraphOn’s Bridges
software in its version of Linux, which was introduced in November.
The version of Corel Linux OS that contains both Linux client and
Windows NT server licenses for GraphOn Bridges is scheduled to ship
in mid-2000, says Derek Burney, Corel’s executive vice president of
engineering.”

“With the Corel Linux desktop OS, users will be able to remotely
access, by dialing up to a server or connecting to the Internet,
Microsoft Windows applications, Corel Windows applications, and
most other Windows applications residing on a Windows NT server,
without having to license any additional software.”
