Hi, there I am a studying possibility of using wine in professional environment. I installed codeweavers wine recently with success. But I fear the answer is not an evident YES... With notepad, I have not acheived any printing yet. First goal would be running MS Office for win 98, especially Excel (another vintage for better emulation if necessary). What is your opinion ? More precisely, what problems are there in MS Office apps emulation ? Is there any kind of technical synthesis available on the subject ? Apart from that, is there any idea of the predictible date for a professional usable release ? Thank you in advance for help. Yours. Philippe BRIERE

I didn't try printing but the only problem I recall was that it complained about a missing Tahoma font. I installed my TTF fonts from windows into Linux and things worked okay. I didn't do any extensive testing though.
