Use Wine...which comes with Mandrake or u can get the latest version from the
wine site. If I can find the URL I will post it for you. Anyway..you will
need the 16 bit version of agent. Using wine you can run agent from your
desktop with a menu icon just like any other linux app. However...wine is
still not as stable as I personally would like. And as such there is some
instability using it. Agent will occasionally hang and requires killing. The
config program sets up ok, but colors and fonts are sometimes weird. Otherwise
it works ok for using it under linux with Wine.
