I mounted the floppy image, cd to it, and ran wine SETUP and it said it was installing, and that the programs would go in C:\WEP So I ran wine C:\\WEP\\TIC and lo and behold! it ran. From my point of view, even better, the program I'm working on beat the Windows program's expert mode handily. That's what I wanted to find out. Maybe I'll try that tictactoe thing too, but it wants to install a HUGE list of packages (150 or so) that I'm not so sure I want. Qt things. Unity things. libgweather??? I'm actually running Xubuntu for a reason. Maybe I'll do it in trial mode from a live disk first. If ever. -- Kevin O'Gorman #define QUESTION ((bb) || (!bb)) /* Shakespeare */ Please consider the environment before printing this email.
