I have been sent the following suggestion by Olivier Lefevre

He tells me that in this context it should be possible to
run linux poplog as it is, i.e. as available from here:

    http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/freepoplog.html

I wonder if anyone has experience of any of these Unix emulations, and
could recommend the best one to try (if I can find a PC running
WinNT or W2K on which to try it - I don't normally use a PC, except
a notebook running nothing but linux).

If anyone else has tried installing and running linux poplog in
one of these unix emulations, please let me know.

Thanks.

Aaron
