Interesting idea. Will a PII work faster than QEMU on an Athlon? (How about VMWare?) Note that to make the machine work with modern versions of Windows/Office, you probably need more disk and memory than what was standard at the time. On a PI-mmx, I had to flash the BIOS to make it work with a 20G hd, and I could not make it use more than 128M ram consistently. A PII might be just good enough though. = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There is a long planned overhaul of the BiDi support in Wine (and, consequently, in CrossOver Office) that will make CrossOver Office support BiDi out of the box again (or as near it as to make no difference). It will also add quite a lot to Wine's own BiDi support. This is some work, however, and has been pushed back due to more urgent things on our plate. If there is a true interest from one or more people willing to finance this, we will be more than happy to carry out the actual work. Contact me if this is such a case. I'll make this last statement clearer. The work we do is solely on the (free) Wine. CrossOver will benefit from this work in the usual way, as it will get what work we put into Wine in that respect. Anyone who puts money into such a project would, however, be putting money to development effort released under the GNU LGPL license, and be completely free software.

Daniel Feiglin wrote: Version 2 of Crossover Office seemed to work OK, and then it broke on version 3+. Yes, it did :-( That is when I switched from implementing my own, extremely partial, BiDi algorithm, to using the pre-existing support provided by ICU. the problem is that ICU is a C++ library, and thus requires lots of standard C++ support libraries. CodeWeavers did not wish to have CrossOver Office require those libraries (which are rather a pain to set up and cause a mini-DLL hell), and thus stopped shipping CrossOver Office with BiDi support enabled. The effort Gilad linked to was an override, of us compiling the relevant libraries from XOO ourselves with the relevant support. We could do that, because they are under the LGPL license, even when part of the proprietary XOO. The intent is to move the BiDi support into a different DLL. This means that the existance of said DLL will cause any version of Wine to support BiDi. This means that Code Weavers are then free not to compile this one DLL, and we can compile it independantly from XOO itself. This, of course, will take some time, which at Lingnu's current status, will require funding to take place. Solution: Using Samba, network and old Pentium II just to run MS IE, Office c. Don't you mean rdesktop as well? Cost: Apart from MS Win X and/or Office you pay for anyway - peanuts. Well, at least in theory, you save on the Windows license with XOO. I will mention that there are, today, very good wrappers outside of XOO that allow installing of IE over the standard Wine. This should not stop anyone from offering money to sponsor the above addition, but will allow you to use your own Wine, which will have the BiDi support.
