Not all windows apps work on wine under debian at this moment but I managed to get MS Office 2000 and Dreamweaver MX working. I have not given the programs extensive testing yet so I can't guarantee stability. Dreamweaver 4 & MX seem to work find here but there are still a couple of quirks that needs to be ironed out in Wine. But overall, it loads and work fine. If you need more infomation take a look at http://www.frankscorner.org/wine/. And if you need screenshots, email me privately and I'll send it to you. -- Regards, Jeremy Tan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
