Before we go any further I've been using linux for at least 4 or 5 years. I
know about vmware, wine, and win4lin. I've had the bat working under wine
before but it's kind of slow and the interface doesn't update properly.
Besides wine freaks me out. I feel like my email will go poof in some freak
accident. Vmware is another story. I will probably never use it. It's not in
my opinion worth what you pay for it. Win4lin looks ok but I have never got
around to trying it.
Ok so these solution have strong and weak points each. Now the reason I asked
is that out of all the software I have actually purchased for my own use and
there is not much really I would like to see the bat run properly on linux. I
have only purchased thebat, ontrack system suite, corel office and windows
itself. That must say something about the bat. Anyway it would be nice to
have it running on linux.
Thanks for the replies they do not exactly answer the question I asked. I want
to know about a native linux binary called the bat running under linux and
weather or not they have even considered such a thing.
Thank you all for your replies. I hope I have explained a little better now.
