I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a Linux version of IE, especially now that Microsoft has woken up to the fact that Linus Torvalds is the Anti- Gates. When you say "Shockwave", do you mean true Shockwave, or Shockwave Flash? There is no native Shockwave player for Linux, but the Windows Shockwave player can be used in Linux via the Crossover plugin (a commercial product, but you can get a free demo from http://www.codeweavers.com...it's complicated to install, but it works if you follow the directions exactly). For Flash, there is a Linux Flash player at http://www.macromedia.com/software/flashplayer/. - Neil Parker, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
