Allen, my experience is that DAR (Darwin Ports) Wine will sorta run Legacy. It will look good on startup but there will be some features that don't give you the output you expect. For normal users, Fusion or Parallels is the best option. I have used both but prefer Fusion because I can run

Patty - I concur with Keith - I tried Parallels, but ran into some issues. I installed Fusion and it allowed me to install Legacy 7.0. Some minor tweaking was required (don't recall the exact items), but I have Legacy running great and was even able to install Ubuntu 8.04 via the Fusion

It does look like Minnesota is the only state where some of the counties are in T132. See http://archives.gov/publications/microfilm-catalogs/census/1790-1890/part-05 .html#t132. For now, use the override link to change the series. I'll make a note of this for future consideration. Thanks, Geoff

ClearPrint is an addon that Msoft offers so that the print edges don't look jaggy. It comes with later releases of XP and 2000 but I think there are/were downloads on Msoft's site for it. In XP it is not automatically turned on. You have to go through the desktop setup and click the advanced
