yep. it relies on wine, which version , dunno, don't care. As a site managment tool it is very similar in structure and layout to Quanta+ (and probably better) but unfortunately, sadly, because of wine it cannot read the dimensions of windows on the current screen and so you end up with almost unusable dialog boxes, squeezed buttons, missing info etc. (I'm not up on the why's of this but everything point's to the tk widget set) My version additionally had a problem with font rendering but i suspect that's me, not it. The generated html is a tad noisy, it generates similar styles to Frontpage98. As a wysywig editor however, it was a good one. It was fairly consistent and the use of tables (stretching them, adding extra colums, rows, was intuitive). Unlike Netscape composer it never crashed for inexplicable reasons (it crashed consistently if you did certain things, but never for reasons unknown, unrepeatable). Afaik, it, and Netscape are the *only* html wysiwigs available for Linux (as of 4 months ago). I would dearly love to keep using it, largely because of its site navigation ability (if you have 600+ pages you need something) but I couldn't handle Wine's quirks so gave it away as something to revisit next year. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
