I did the ebuild for Winex after it was removed from portage - and I can't argue with that. At the time TG let you download CVS if you would provide feedback so I joined the mail list and did so.
There is a native SOF but I had purchased Windows SOF long before it came out couldn't go get another copy of it. I'm lucky in that I don't need IE much so I can live without it or go to the Windows machine and use it if I have to. VMWare would be an option but for the Installshield stuff I need a Windows machine to test on and duplicate what the users have. That would be an interesting Beta report to MS - operating system is Linux <G>. Crossover I'd buy in a minute if I had a need for it but at this time OpenOffice does it all. If I can't get my wife to OpenOffice I may use Crossover and run MSOffice on it. I don't mind paying either for something that's worth it but I figured as you did that I would try and do something with Wine and I like that fact it's more general, also. Silent Service is DOS based essentially. Yup - I know DOSBOX. I spent a lot of time with it and SS but again lack of time and the system dying killed that project. As soon as I get the Windows machine built I'll be getting my main Linux box back up and start all this up again. I'm planning on sooner than three years <G>. Every Windows box I have to work with makes me appreciate Linux more - and every FC box makes me appreciate Gentoo more <G>. > > From: Holly Bostick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2005/05/24 Tue PM 12:25:31 EDT > To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org > Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] wine > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] schreef: > Isn't SoF native? http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/4381 ...
