Todd,
I found that Legacy will *not* run on 'wine'. Use the option here or
there have been some other options on the list just, one by Sherry.

I am using VMWare Fusion, with XP Pro installed on it, and running Legacy
very nicely on both my MacBook Air and my iMac. If you haven't tried it with
the latest generation of Macs, you will be surprised at how beautifully it
works. Just like having a little pc inside my Mac. Legacy is the

I'd dearly love to say good-bye to Microsoft OS and switch to Linux but the
only thing
holding me back is changing to a new (and much less developed, from what I've
read)
genealogy program.
Does Legacy have any plans to develop a Linux-compatable genealogy program?

Sherry,
Thanks for the response, but I am aware of Win4Lin and VMWare. However, my
point is that I am moving away from Windows and with Win4Lin and VMWare, I
still have to install Windows on my computer
Paul, have you looked at the Wine AppDB list? Someone has
successfully installed Legacy 7 using Wine 1.0-rc4 on openSUSE 10.3
(see http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=applicationiId=3207).
They might have some insight for you.
Also on that list it appears that Legacy 5 works well
Steve, Sherry,
Thanks for the comments. Steve, I followed those directions to no
avail. I, too, saw where they got Legacy 5 working but not 6 and I
didn't see any comment about version 7. But, I won't give up that
easily! lol
Thanks again,
Paul

Paul, have you
I have been doing some research into using Legacy in a totally
Linux environment. I've also found evidence that this is workable.
I still have more research to do.
Then I'll need to get my feet wet and actually try it.
In the end I hope to be able to run Legacy on a memory stick
using a

Hi John
I replaced Linux with XP on my Asus EEPC specifically to run Legacy

Greetings all,
At the risk of possibly bringing up old news, I'll let everyone know
I've had great success getting Legacy 6.0 to run under Linux (sort of).
Originally, I had hoped to get it to run under Crossover Office and/or
Wine, but that was never to be.
The good news though is that
