They do have a couple of mailing lists, fairly low volume, you might join one and ask about specific apps there. Basically, if You have a winders license (win95, 98, 98se, me) and installation disk, if the program doesn't require direct usb access (keyboards and mice work though), and it doesn't require directx then it should work on win4lin. I've actually had better luck installing and running progs w/ win4lin than I had on my win98 installation. -- dh
