Odin on Steroids?
InnoTek Runtime for those special Win Apps - by Mark Abramowitz

The Odin project has matured to the point where many Win32 applications
can run under Odin, with nary a copy of Windows in sight. But the developers
of Odin have taken it to new heights commercially, developing specialized Odin
wrappers for flawlessly running individual applications that sometimes even
run better than the application on its' native platform. And now recently,
they've developed the ultimate Windows killer, the "InnoTek Runtime" which
incorporates these wrappers into one runtime.

To prove that just about any dumb user (which in no way is meant to imply
that SCOUG members - or presenters - are dumb) can work magic with the
InnoTek Runtime, our own Mark Abramowitz will show us how to run not only
apps that the runtime was developed for, but a plethora of Win32 apps. He'll
be dragging and dropping, clicking, and/or using the command line. Mark will
also show us what still needs work, and what could be improved for the end-user.

Other .CMD files, etc.
