To sum my replies up, I hole heartily agree with you James it's just that we differ on when not if the link should be removed. Winetools helps people run programs that they might not be able to and it helps them do that now. And that's what 99.9% of end users care about, can I run what I want to now? If the answer is no 99.8% of them will leave while .1% might stick around and wait on a fix. Happy Holiday's Tom > > -- > James Hawkins >
