That should be enough, it wont be fast but if the Windows API calls needed are supported, it should work. More at issue is, does he have enough memory? WINE has gotten awfully "beefy" in the last year. The libraries and executables are up in the Netscape 4+ territory these days. If he's going to be using that machine, ideally he'd want to max out whatever RAM his mobo can take. 20/24/32mb at least. (either that or upgrade to a machine from the Cretaceous period, rather than the Jurassic :) Mark Orr [EMAIL PROTECTED] (there's nothing wrong with a hepped up 486.
