Some years ago I used my home gardening program, Key Home Gardener, which was a 16 bit Windows program, to lay out my lot, my septic system, and my landscaping. It produces files in a .drw format, which is a Microsoft vector format.

Is there any Linux based program that will allow me to view my .drw files? Have you tried installing your program (if you still have the disks) under Wine on Linux? Yes. Apparently there's enough difference with a 16 bit program (written for Windows 3.1) not to install with CrossOver Linux.

Try with plain Wine.

...and before installing your application, execute "winecfg", where you set your "Windos Version" to "Windows 95"

regards Eberhard ...furthermore, it is said, that word (ok, there is no Linux version of this, but at least it can be used with wine) can insert graphics that have been done as ".drw". Might be worth a try.

However, seemingly a multitude of apps used to use the extenson ".drw". Needless to say there fileformats are sharing the same extension, but are nvertheless mostly incompatible to each other ;-). So I would definitely prefer to go the wine route with the original gardener program and see how this works out. regards Eberhard regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
