Windows-to-OpenBSD help

[enCode]

I have a school project going on involving OpenBSD and some Lego programming software, originaly designed to run on Windows or Mac. You see, I am in a school program where I, along with some other students, travel to the local elementary schools and try and get them interested in the I.T. field. We show them some cool stuff that they could do if they came to our school and get involved, like lego programming. We send our computers with the software a head of time, so the technologicaly illiterate teachers dont need to worry about loading the programs. Well last time We could only get one of the two computers to boot up, and trying to trouble shoot a computer while you have little kids in the room yelling at you isn't an easy task ( I know, "Welcome, to the I.T. world."). So the next day I went to the boss lady and proposed trying to load the programming software on to a more stable *nix machine ( I recommended OpenBSD). The problem is I don't know if I can make a Windows based program to run under unix. I might need to recompile the source or binary, but since this is a school I don't want to decompile the program and risk any legal actions. Do you have any suggestions? And feel free to ask for clarification any where if I was confusing or too vague.
THANKS SOOO MUCH.

Are you talking about "Lego Mindstorm" ?
(Linux howto)

If so, you may find some of the suggestions and any provided code helpful to migrating from Linux to *BSD.

Then there is http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTri...nqcipcdoc.html

I remember when these came out from Lego and people were talking about making it work for Linux.

An alternative just in case there are problems with the wine route.

I am talking about Lego Mindstorm, and thanks for the links I'll read up on them.
But I think that I will stick with the WINE route because Im trying to convert my school to a linux school. And if I show them that you can run all your old Windows programs in a Unix enviroment it might take some of the fear and sceptisism out of the experience of learning a "scarry new operating system".

GM1: I heard the DC410 meetings had problems with girls coming over to sex up the attendees.

Be careful with statements like "all your old Windows programs", WINE is a fantastic project, and has made great strides, but there are *lots* of Windows programs out there that don't work will under WINE. Good luck.

First: Thanks for the warning, I'll remember that.
Second: I cant even get girls to my place, sorry i cant help DC410 out.
