My main problem is I host palace chat servers, so I obviously need to be able to use the palace chat client. There is no linux version, and the people who created it no longer exist. I've tried downloading wine before and running it, and.. about half of it works. backgrounds won't download stuff like that, and that's simply not adequte. I am curious if anyone would do me a large favor, if I were to provide them with the palace client try it under the Crossover wine, or whatever it is, and see if it functions correctly.. To obtain it.. please contact me aim: korruptdotcom icq: 56295559
