Win4Lin supports any Windows application, because you are actually running Windows in a virtual console, kind of like SoftWindows for the Mac. However, I have heard (this may be out of date) that Win4Lin doesn't support DirectX.
I have been able to get Finale running using Wine, though. The only thing is that the correct fonts don't display. What I would like to see is a port of Finale over to Linux/BSD. The port shouldn't be too hard, as the source code is open. As soon as Coda ports Finale to Linux, I will once again start buying the upgrades. Maybe they could write a command-line utility that would be compatible with MacOSX, Linux and BSD, kind of like what Lilypond and Mup have done. Then, they could either write the GUI wrapper themselves, or leave it to the open source community to write. --Bill On Fri, 2002-05-31 at 22:43, Weldon Whipple <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I just read about Win4Lin 4.0 at www.netraverse.com.
