</snip> OK Poogle, Frankie and all who helped me on this one : The fact is that I don't have a copy of that other OS, in any flavor whatsoever. So I tried to run *Derive* from Wine and from Crossover - with no success. Win4Lin may be OK, but as far as I understand it requires a copy of another OS - right ? If yes, I think my only option is to somehow get my hands on an old, used Windows PC just to run this app. Under no circumstances will I tolerate Windows on my *real* computers in our home. I happen to own an old Thinkpad 380 with OS/2 on it, but *Derive* won't run under OS/2's emulation of Win3.1 either. Possibly I can get a copy of Win98, but I have no clue whatsoever about installing it - the Thinkpad can't boot off a CD , so I guess it's a dead end too ? Thanks again, all.
