It is not a far-fetched requirement: the reverse, i.e. running windows binary under linux is often possible and regularily used, but it requires a specific tool for the job, in the linux case wine, that translates every system call. It's not an easy task, and I doubt that there is something for windows to do so, but there may be a solution using some virtualizing layer and a minimal linux installation, depending on what is needed from the red hat executable. -- Elena ``of Valhalla'' email: elena.valha...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
