I have achieved much of what I wanted to achieve using Wine, with one exception. I was hoping to be able to use Shockwave content, but despite installing Firefox and the Shockwave plugin, it does not work - it seems to stop after the promotional film before the actual requested content. I know there are "pay" solutions to this problem, but was wondering if anyone had found a free solution yet. -- Phil Reynolds o ____ mail: phil@tinsleyviaduct.com |L_ \ / Web: http://www.tinsleyviaduct.com/phil/ (_)- \/ Waltham 67, Emley Moor 69, Droitwich 79, Windows 95

You can use that with Linux or you can use IE6 with the apropiate plugin under Linux. Use WineTools for the setup. Regards Joachim von Thadden -- "Never touch a running system!

Do not try to install the fonts, this fails.

Do not try to install the fonts, this fails.OK - the problem I am having is a bit more general, actually - I get BadShmSeg when I try to run anything through wine. If I can solve that, perhaps there's a chance... You imply there's away to access this plugin from a Linux-based browser - is this correct?
