I've been messing around with it recently. Eventually I'll put up a web page about what I've tried and solicit help from other people. I'm using Wine on Gentoo, which sets a bunch of default preferences. I'm guessing that everything will work the same on another distro, too, but I haven't tried. I don't have any Microsoft files on my computer. I tried several things to get things going. Here's what finally worked: I downloaded PAF 4 from the Church's web page and it installed without any problems. I then deleted the directory C:\WINDOWS\PROGRAM FILES\COMMON\INSTALL SHIELD. I then installed PAF 5, also from the Church's web page. Everything I've tested so far seems to work, except that there's some sort of a font or display problem when editing records. Let me know if you find any sort of a solution to that. Also please let me know what works or doesn't work for you; like I said, I'm going to put up a web page about it eventually, so the more info the better. Good luck. -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868
