When I want to run Windows software on a Linux box I use Qemu, not Wine, because there are quite a few Windows apps that don't work in Wine. Check the Application Database at <http://appdb.winehq.org/> to see if your app is supported. I'm not saying "dont try Wine", but if Wine doesnt work for your app, give Qemu a try. <http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/> The down sides with Qemu is that you need a Windows install CD to install on the virtual machine, and it's a bit slower than native. -- Sebastian Kuzminsky even white boys got to shout ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
