Hi, my name is Rolf Bilet.
And I have not presented my selves on this list, only 'listening'
Anyway Alain does have some problem to porting users from MS to Linux,
and it is a common problem.
One solution what i have done is, telling MS users:
In general MS games will not work under Linux, with a few games that
will.
Reason is, game makers do use special tools to get speed of games rise,
compile to differ graphical processors.
Many gamemakers is using a SGI in beginning before porting to MS and
comiling for it.
Why not try to make them do this work to Linux too??? After all SGI is
running Irix
and it shuld be fewer steps here!!!
This may be most hard to do?
Star Office and Applix shuld in general handle MS documents (even better
than MS do).
Try in MS to save a doc file from Office97 to all earlyer wersions and
other ways hmm.
And last, close to all major DB does have a porting to Linux, if not an
export to Oracle,
Informix ie. shuld work.
I have not tried SCO programs, (many uses SCO) on Linux like FoxBase, I
intend to try it
in beginning of next week due to a customer of my.

Rolf Bilet
