Netraverse Win4Lin in trouble or out of busienss?

[B. Joshua Rosen]

I run Synplify under Win4Lin which uses Flexlm. You have to put the
path to the license server in autoexec.bat and then you're golden. BTW
the beta for Synplify on Redhat 7.1 just came out so it's no longer
necessary to run it emulated.
