Win4Lin works well (again, if you only want to run windoze). I've found that for me it has a _much_ smaller performance hit than VMWare (both 1.x and 2.0). YMMV. I run Quicken, Photoshop, MathCAD, VB, and others (mostly stuff that isn't available on Linux in some form [I haven't converted to the GIMP yet :-)]). Haven't found anything that doesn't work, yet. And file sharing is easier (IMO). Sure beats rebooting all the time... -- Martin Hillyer Powered by Linux 2.2.14 Communications by mutt-1.0.1i ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please take note:
