I've had pretty good luck with Parallels here for running a variety of OS's, dos, windows, linux, etc. And yes, I have at least compiled Xastir under most of them, give or take DOS. I haven't yet downloaded the Xastir Vmware instance and tried to convert/run that under Parallels, but it is supposed to be possible to do. I will note that I didn't have great luck with getting Parallels hosted Windows 2k, running Xastir to talk to my KPC3+ via an IO Gear GUC232A usb to serial adapter. It BSOD'ed. I didn't debug it extensively -- I was trying to get the windows instance to see the USB/Serial adapter as a USB device, and what I think I probably needed to do was to tell Parallels to map a windows serial port to a particular file (/dev/cu.usbserial) instead. It ended up being just plain easier to either run Xastir natively (N8YSZ-3), or to use a native linux PC (N8YSZ-4) and I've not revisited it. -- Dan Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
