I agree.
Also, I wouldn't want to give anything to Mr. Gates.

I already have a setup like that. I have a win10 machine running a

OK, but I would like to ditch windows altogether. Maybe that's silly,
but on principle I would like to be running open source as much as
possible. Except for fronimo, of course.

Back before I retired from the tech industry (2015), I used Vagrant
with VirtualBox on a Linux computer to run various operating systems

(Vagrant basically simplifies using VMs, including but not limited to
VirtualBox). Strictly, you need a license to run Windows 10 in a
virtual machine, although if you don't connect to the internet it
will probably work OK. Never actually tried it, though. IIRC, you can
get free Vagrant boxes to run earlier versions of Windows, which
might be an option as long as Fronimo doesn't have Windows 10
specific code.

Subject: [LUTE] Ris: Re: fronimo under wine?
In my experience Fronimo cannot work "directly" on a Linux platform
using Wine. But an alternative way to make it work is to install in
your Linux a Virtual Machine that let you run Windows: first
thing to
do is creating a Windows Virtual Machine. Second step is to
install and
run FRONIMO as normal. This is not a 100%"pure" Linux solution
but it
works well, printing procedures etc. included. Hope this can help.

I agree. I would buy Fronimo if it worked properly under Linux.
I had trouble in the demo version. Printing to file didn't work
(blank
pages though the preview is visible. Is this deliberate?).
That's sad because I have some fronimo files from the yahoo
group I
would have loved to print.
Also I would love to contribute to Sarge's archive.
