But then windows virus and trojans need to know that messing with your c:\windows isn't the right way to damage your system if you're using wine. And if they are actualy going to make wine-aware virus, they could write a bash script as well. My point is that it isn't lack or presence of win32 api support that makes a difference, but rather disposition of malware authors to target this system (and security awareness of Joe, of course). -- Robert Millan My spam trap is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note: this address is only intended for spam harvesters.
