Hi, do any of you run Adobe Illustrator with Wine or Crossover (or WineX), especially Illustrator 9 or even 10? If you really think you know an alternative under Linux, please tell me. (I know there is xfig and I use it and I know the blabla that most people don't need all the features etc.) Ré

Just installed Illustrator 9 a week ago under Crossover (others on the Crossover list installed 10). Haven't had a chance to really exercise it thoroughly yet but it seems to be fine. Took a little work and some questions on the Crossover list but this discussion is probably on their archives. -- Tony Alfrey tonyalfrey@earthlink.net "I'd Rather Be Sailing"

Could you maybe sum up the steps and tell me? Are you using SuSE 8.2? I tried something mentioned under appdb.codeweavers.com but it didn't work. Maybe I did sth wrong but I think I understood the instructions there. Meanwhile you don't have access to the Codeweaver's forum. I bought it for an univ. institute where I work but we didn't receive an e-mail from Codeweavers (I'm working on this), so I have no access by this, either :-( Ré

No. Not even running SuSE much. Running a heavily patched Caldera 3.1.
I tried something mentioned under appdb.codeweavers.com but it didn't work. Maybe I did sth wrong but I think I understood the instructions there.
1. First insert Illustrator 9.0 cd. 2. Started CXOffice setup and instead of running the Adobe autoplay.exe, go to Setup.exe in the Adobe Illustrator 9.0 directory on the cd and run that. The CXOffice GUI lets you select which .exe to run. Install Adobe Illustrator as usual. 3. After installing AI, in a terminal window, cd to the directory where my Illustrator.exe is located: /home/tony/Program Files/Adobe/Illustrator 9.0" 4. CXOffice is installed in /opt on my box. So I then run /opt/cxoffice/bin/wine Illustrator.exe 5. You can make a shell script to do this for you and add it to your kmenu panel. Earlier, when I tried to start AI without it this way, I got an error that a .dll was missing which I found on my Win partition. But I don't think that this was necessary, that I really needed to start AI as per the instructions above. Many of these suggestions were supplied by Tom@Neuro-Logic.com

Huh??? I didn't buy anything. I downloaded the trial version (I have 22 days left ;-) ). I don't think you need anything special to join the discussion list discuss@wine.codeweavers.com

Hm, I'd like to know if Ill. 10 works. Don't have 9.

Yes, actually I got somewhat further when I had copied that DLL, but Ill10 wouldn't start, only install.

Oh, I spoke from the forum, you from the mailing-list... Is it worth while, more than the forum (which is pretty okay)? Ré

Take a look at this site. It might help you. http://franksworld.net/ And if you get it or Photo Shop working "please" post and let us know what you did! ;-) Cheers, Curtis.
I just tested Illustrator 8.0 the other night. I run CrossoverOffice 2.0, a 2gig AMD, 128mb nvidia video card and 1gb memory. That said, there is a noticeable difference between it running on COO and Windows....much slower on COO. Since I do a lot on Illustrator, I'm going to have to keep my w2k partition for that reason...and games. Illustrator was rather slow and jittery. This is just my findings, your mileage may actually vary. Photoshop 5.5, on the other hand, seems to run at about 90% of w2k....which is still pretty good.

This is what I see so far in 9.0, but I have some very big AI files that run slow in Windows also, especially after Win has been running for awhile..

I'm afraid so, for awhile at least. <snip> -- Tony Alfrey tonyalfrey@earthlink.net "I'd Rather Be Sailing"
