I'm also looking into running the SAS Viewer under wine on linux to read non-transport SAS files in a new Hmisc function. But so far there is a problem - SAS in all its wisdom doesn't quote character string output when creating csv files with the Viewer, so you can't have commas in your character strings. There is a tab delimiter option as long as you don't have tabs in the strings. Amazing that SAS couldn't do better than that.
