Runs great under CrossOver Office. How well it runs under the free
version of Wine depends on which distro and version of Wine. Possibly
phases of the moon too:)

Agent 3.x under older Wine or CXO versions requires one small tweak (To
Wine not Agent) that 1.x and 2.x did not. CXO 5.0 and Wine back at least
a year already work with 3.x (The combination listed in my sig does need
this minor, but non intuitive, .dll.so swap)

I have found that Agent runs slightly faster and with fewer problems on
a fake Windows partition. Will work in a dual boot... I just never go
"there" anymore.
