Hey! I know you from the Areivim/Avodah list! I didn't know you were also
into linux.

I've been trying to run Bar-Ilan version 3 (five years old) on wine, but I
never get past the 'No response from NetHASP server' dialog.  (It could be
just a problem with accessing the parallel port itself from a 16-bit
program;  I haven't gotten the 16-bit version to run on NT either.)  In
general, I'm upset with the Bar-Ilan guys who won't give me an upgrade to
the current version at less than the full price of the program (4 or 5
upgrades = $700), so I feel like I paid for nothing five years ago.

If you've had more success, please tell me.
