Just thought I'd add my experience with Wine. Be careful! I used it to access my old Word for Windows 2.0c files using mdk version. Thank heavens I took their advice about copying the files to a separate directory - if you get an error, your files will be trashed. I mean trashed --- as in irrevocably! Luckily for me, I had been planning to nix my window setup soon. After using Wine with Ventura 4.11, well --- bye-bye Windows. I've messed up my W98 config so badly its not worth repairing - not that W98 was worth running in the first place!. (I must add that I knew I shouldn't have tried VPWin - even in windows it was troublesome). So, if you want to be a total Linux convert -- maybe Wine's the best way to go? More than likely if I had read more on Wine all would have worked well. But to my understanding, you're courting Windows' instability, no matter how you dress it up.
