A problem (and not just related to The Bat!) is that Fedora Core 1 uses prelinking of libraries and exec-shield and that seems to have severely interfered with the functioning of Wine (both free and Crossover Office version). I'm currently using Codeweavers' Crossover Office version of Wine with prelinking and exec-shield turned off. Codeweavers is working on the problem. I was also able to make it work with regular wine. I just bought Codeweavers to ease the transition for me and the thousands of Office documents I have that don't always translate well in OpenOffice and because I don't have a lot of time right now to play with regular wine. The Bat! was working fine but I currently have a problem where the screen disappears but it is still running as the mail ticker works and it checks mail. I just can't see the screen. I was in the process of troubleshooting it and a couple of other things about my system when I totally screwed it up (being a relative Linux newbie) and am now dealing with a kernel panic totally unrelated to The Bat! issue. I think the problem with The Bat! may have to do with the fact that I have it set to minimize to tray. Or of course, it could be something totally different. :) I'll let you know how I progress. I've got MS Office running fine. Well, that was before the kernel panic. vbg One of my goals is also to be able to share the mail directories. I have a triple boot system and sharing TB mail between Win2k and WinXp works fine. I'm working on sharing it with Linux. If I am ever successful with a consistently working TB on Linux, I will post a little HOWTO on it. FYI, the prelinking and exec-shield thing seem to be something that most of the major distros are doing now, or at least that was reported on a couple of mailing lists about wine/crossover office. -- Regards, Terry Using The Bat! v2.01.3 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Current version is 2.02.3 CE | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
