Word on the street is that neTRAVERSE Win4Lin is currently the best solution for running Win32 apps under Linux. http://www.winforlin.com They are still accepting beta testers for the next version, so this is a good time to get some free, fully-functional action. I got a beta license, but I haven't had time to install it yet. I run WINE, and FWIW, it seems like a pretty sketchy program - a lot of promise, but still needs some serious krausening. A lof of stuff that is supposed to work, doesn't. See my previous post about network access issues under WINE. -- Bill Layer Sales Technician <b.layer at vikingelectronics.com> +----------------------------------+ Viking Electronics, Inc. 1531 Industrial St. Hudson, WI. 54016 - U.S.A 715.386.8861 ext. 210 <http://www.vikingelectronics.com> +----------------------------------+ "Telecom Solutions for the 21st Century" Powered by Slackware Linux 7.1.0
