I would be sooo much nicer it 'tards would learn to use the subject line
Those kind of comments are not welcome on this list.
Maybe he was having a bad day and took one too many irritations like that to heart; I sometimes don't bother replying to top posters anymore in my emails or to lists just because it's irritating to me to keep going through jumbled headers and sorting crap out to get an actual idea of what is going on in an email. Eventually I just pop it into the bit bucket...if it's important, they'll email again with hopefully a new email that's clean and free of crap.
Same with people that use reply-to to post their new message topics...so it gets threaded under a different subject that has NOTHING to do with the actual topic at hand. So they screw up the threading.
AAARGH
then again, I break the 72-character wrapping. Other people are really miffed at that in this list. I wish someone would fix the Unix mailers to see this properly, because I'm using Mail.app and it's stupid after being drilled so often not to hit "enter" periodically for word processing. Mail.app does put in wrapping, but it's using a type of word wrapping that is configurable...something from qualcomm, I want to say?...where messages would be dynamically wrapped to be more readable on variable display sizes. Something about messages showing up properly in email editors on PCs to small displays like those on PDA's and cellphones. If the mailer interprets this properly, every quotation is properly indented regardless of the size of the window. So I irritate people in that regard.
When everyone who emails me stops top posting and screwing up the threading or doing anything else to irritate my wonderful online experience, I'll manually wrap lines at 72 characters.
Anyway, yeah, it was wrong to be so harsh...but maybe he had *some* justification in mind at the time.
If you want to be rude to people, please don't associate yourself with FreeBSD when you do it.
Yeah...take it to an advocacy forum! :-)
As to the OP's question, look at wine (http://www.winehq.com) ... although
I've never had much success with it, that's what it's supposed to do.
Try using vmware, or QEMU. Or Plex86, or whatever they're calling that project now. VM's tended to work much better for running Windows software than WINE has worked for me, but that's just my experience.
