I have been running Agent3.3 uner Linux debian sarge, wine 0.0.20050310-1.2, fake windows partition. Absolutely no problems, even when tackling large groups like binaries or advocacy. But the upgrade to V4 did not go well. I went back to 3.3 and managed to reproduce under reduced conditions: * Created a new, vanilla user called gorby * Created a new fake windows setup with a vanilla "winesetup" * Did a vanilla install of Agent4.0 under wine If I try to start agent using: wine ~/'.wine/fake_windows/Program Files/Agent/agent.exe' I just get this message-box: "The shared directory \home\gorby\.wine\fake_windows\Program Files\Agent\ does not exist". It exists, of course, since the installer completed without trouble. And I know my version of wine is a bit old, but since 3.3 works flawlessly with it... Any suggestion?

There are tons of great newsreader coming with most distro, IIRC there are far more newsreader available running native on Linux then M$-Windows nntp reader. To me wine is always just a very last resort, at first I'd check for Linux native apps. Here are some helpful comparison tables concerning equivalent software: http://www.libervis.com/wiki/index.php?title=Table_of_Equivalent_Software http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Linux_software_equivalent_to_Windows_software http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html Good luck -- Michael Heiming (X-PGP-Sig > GPG-Key ID: EDD27B94) mail: echo zvpunry@urvzvat.qr | perl -pe 'y/a-z/n-za-m/' #bofh excuse 93: Feature not yet implemented

I run Agent 4.0 under Crossover Office (have used it under 5.2 and 6.0 beta 2) without any problems. So the short answer is that it will run under wine but I am not sure what the boys and girls at Codeweavers to to wine to get it running as good as they do. Doug
