Keep in mind that it is a Windows program but, it runs nicelly under WINE.
Hope it helps...
Amazing, the first time I got Wine to do something useful for me. The last time I tried it was in the SuSE 8.3 Pro version. Now it works well on the purchased Novell SuSE 10.0 Boxed Version. When the *.exe is started, it asks for a programme to "open (it) with". I just entered 'wine' in the top for a programme name and it installed perfectly on the De[s]ktop.
This thread just aroused my curiosity a little. I looked at Wine years ago, and it couldn't run the Tax software that was keeping my wife with Windows. I haven't looked since, so I forget.
Does Wine create a complete environment within Linux, so that all you need is the single Windows program that you wish to run? Or do you still need a working Windows system on your computer that Wine would use as its infrastructure?
Wine kind of does it all by itself, but will not run everything. I tried to install Nero to go along with DVDshrink3.2 and it only trips over it's own feet. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
