Hi all,

I've just tested FreeWeb on Linux using the Wine emulator and am pleased to
announce that the damn thing actually seems to work - the proxy and the site
insertion :))

The only obvious failure is the online help. Not a problem though since it's
just html files.

To install on Linux, you'll just need to download the zip file, and extract
the files into whatever directory you want.
http://freeweb.sf.net/download.html

Before running 'wine freeweb.exe', just put the following lines into
~/.wine/config:
    [Drive L]

    "Path" = "/"

    "Type" = "network"

    "Label" = "linux root"

    "Filesystem" = "win95"

That way, when inserting sites, you'll be able to open up a drive in 'My
Computer' called L, which will be your linux root.

Just fire it up, and point your browser to http://localhost:8888, and away
you go. Also, you should be able to find your way around the GUI fairly
easily.

While the tests I did were superficial, there is a good chance it will work
quite OK in general use.

But if there are any problems, please let me know.

Cheers

David
