I don't know anything about Mac OS/X, but there are numerous possible solutions for Linux and some may also be available for the Mac. I think WINE (and the commercial CrossOver Office version) are Linux-only. They don't work, anyway. I've tried running CdC under CrossOver and it doesn't work. There's another product called Win4Lin that I haven't tried, but it would probably work. Win4Lin actually loads a copy of Windows 9X to run under Linux, and can run just about anything that runs under Windows 9X. I don't know if it's avaiable for Mac OS/X. Still another possibility is VMWare, which creates a virtual machine. Almost any Windows program runs under VMWare, but it's relatively expensive and I'm not sure if it's available for OS/X. I am really looking forward to a full-blown native Linux version of CdC. -- Robert Bruce Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ttgnet.com/thisweek.html http://forums.ttgnet.com/ikonboard.cgi ------------------------ Yahoo!
