Aren't these Windows applications? While it is possible to run some Windows applications under Linux using 'Wine' to provide an adaptation layer between Linux and Windows apps, you will find it much easier to simply find an equivalent application written for Linux. Good resources to find Linux apps are SourceForge http://sourceforge.net/ and Freshmeat http://freshmeat.net/ as well as www.google.com/linux/ Having identified an application you would like to try you should then search for a Mandrake RPM package of it before resorting to compiling the application yourself. In many cases you will discover that the application is already on your CDs or available in online sources such as the 'contrib' folder on any Mandrake mirror site. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
