I've got some dos apps I wrote compiled to run under Windoze a long time ago. They sort'a kind'a run with wine, but unsatifactorily (ie, unusable). Same for the ones i wrote to run under dos. For the most part, bottom line is you need to be a linux/windoze/wine guru for wine to be anything more than a challenge or toy (take your pic). Even the latest, wine-20001002. Let me say i've never tried any alternatives either (eg, vmware, freemware[ http://www.freemware.org/ ], or any others). Besides, _why_ ?? If you wanna run Winblows apps... dual boot. I should mention in addition to what I posted about editing 'wine.conf' Sometimes I've installed a new version of Mandrake and wine.conf is empty. Others have reported the same. My fix is to do an ftp search for 'wine.ini', save it as /etc/wine.conf and edit it to reflect your windoze mount point(s), as root of course. -- Tom Brinkman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Galveston Bay
