recently i did some experimentation on this issue myself. i found that most old applictions run with codeweavers wine. i did a win98 installation on my FAT32 partition and installed Office97 on it. i was able to run M$ word, Excel, and powerpoint from linux no problem with wine ( they even started pretty fast. ) i was also able to run Internet Explorer 6, and most small apps, ( winzip, winrar, flash projector files, etc. ) before this, i tried a windows XP installation, and the biggest app i could get going was Getright. And it was slooooooow. after messing with wine's config wizard my final conclusion was: leave it alone. it worked best for me that way. just click OK and next till the wizard finishes. Damian
