[Gambas-user] Gambas on Windows - Alternative

If you really plan to create that custom Win distribution, there are a
couple of things that we have to figure out in order to  make it
really useable:

1) Filesystem: That virtualization system uses its own filesystem (a
folder inside the Windows filesystem). You can select to use "CuFS" to
have access to all the main filesystem. It would be a good idea to
select an standard path for that (I used /mnt/windows) that way every
programmer could have access to the entire filesystem.

2) How to deal with Windows executables? I you want to use EXEC or
SHELL, I think you can do it only with Linux executables, at this
moment... or may it will work with Windows executables inside the real
filesystem? Anybody to test it?

3) Once we can run Windows executables, the RAD Gambas application
should use a native browser (IE or Firefox)
