ISTR that support for this is hard since you basically need to poke a hole in the Linux abstraction layer to get have it pass off execution of a PE-COFF executable. Not that I expect that it's *impossible*, but you might need something like binfmt_misc for this I suspect. <crazy> How's WINE on Windows through WSL using a mount in Linux of C:/ or other drives? ;) </crazy> --Ben
