Or Win4lin, much cheaper than vmware and should probably do the job too (warning I use neither). Or plex86 although it is probably not quite ready yet. Of course my personal preference would be Wine but I'm biased since I'm a Wine developper. -- Francois Gouget [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://fgouget.free.fr/ May your Tongue stick to the Roof of your Mouth with the Force of a Thousand Caramels.
