I have considered this, but I've never done any Windows programming, and I'm using
UNIX IPC to communicate between processes. The emulator consists of a Master process that
represents the master CPU unit, and one or more Slave processes (each their own Z80
emulator) that represent the workstations. You can have up to four active Slave processes
attached to the master (it gets slower the more slaves you run.).
I have put up a set of pages on the Wang OIS
System.Currently, it can run most of the OS utilities, program development, and
Wang Word Processing. I have tested it with Red Hat Linux 7.2 and 7.3.

That is excellent, Jim!
Is there any chance of talking you to convert your emulator to use
wxWindows ( http://www.wxwindows.org )? It is a cross-platform GUI and
system toolkit. It is quite well done, and would allow running your
emulator on a much larger range of platforms (PC, linux/unix, Mac, OS/2,
...) It is rather well done, has a very active developer community, and
uses the native look & feel of the targeted GUI (it will look like a GTK
app if that is what you link to, or a Motif app, or Win32, or XP, OS X, etc.)
