Do you mean that Linux is not a religion? That we can actually use other operating systems if the programs that we want only run on those systems? Heresy! Seriously, if a user finds himself needing to run an application designed for ABC operating system on XYZ operating system, then before even trying Wine, an emulator, or a VM, the user should contact the author of the software and ask for a version that runs on his OS. Authors will not write software for any OS unless there is an interest expressed in using the software on that OS. Before ever trying to run an application in Wine, write to the software author and ask about Linux support. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
