The point, however, is that WINE was never intended as an emulator. Note the expansion of the acronym. If the ATO really must have a standalone, not web-based, application, they should use the WINE library to make it cross-platform. It's LGPL, so if MYOB and the like need to use parts of it, that's fine too. But we all know a decent web-based application would be a much easier and cheaply-supported option. These days it's not possible to say there are no major applications out there that run cross-platform, using web standards. Once upon a time they _might_ have had that excuse. -- Rev Simon Rumble <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> www.rumble.net The Tourist Engineer Just because you're on holiday, doesn't mean you're not a geek. http://engineer.openguides.org/ "Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it." - George Bernard Shaw -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
