Today October 28, they are giving their software for free. Yes. Interest is go great they had to take their main site offline! Downloads can be done from the subsitute web page. So ... is their's really better than Wine on Debian Sid or Experimental? I have no need for MS-office. OO is more than good enought. However ... the question remains :-) They also offer a games package. Worthwhile? Also free today ONLY.

I'm new to codeweaver. Oddly enough, I had just checked their webite out a few days ago. I went ahead and downloaded the "Install-crossover-pro-7.1.0.sh" shell script. Do I simply run that within the terminal to install? Do I need to wait for the serial code to unlock it? Or is the code necessary for installation?
Well, it did indeed install fine and worked fine when installing Office 2003. Is there a way to allow Crossover to install extra add-ons that are not specifically MS products and on disk? I have the MAthType add-on executable for Word on my desktop; how do I run that in Crossover? It might have the same issues as Wine with it and refuse to work at all, but I do need to try. :-p

So I installed it. I can say they have packaged it very nicely and give a decent UI for "local" installation of supported and "unsupported" Windows apps. One caveat is that their virus checck can take forever and make one think the installation has hung. Codeweavers runs Dagesh word processor. Recent WINE versions have not run this in a long long time (used to!). This non-Unicode WP still handles multilingual bi-directional docs better than Word or OpenOffice (language is up-front, not an obscure font!! property). I am one of the authors. If I can get wineasio to work with it, then I will give Cakewalk Sonar Home Studio (2002) a try. Their older software, up to their "express", ran on WINE. If this baby plays, nirvana. There are a few such apps that function acceptably in WINE. Most are too heavy. Still too early to wipe that Win98 partitions, however.
Cakewalk home studio will run in a y2k bottle. Many of these programs fail in win98 because wine does not fully support thunking to 16-bit MIDI sequencer DLLs, It will detect a "DSP" output and a "snooper" input for audio -- looks like OSS to me. MIDI devices are detected as in qjackctl connection pane. I attempted to regsrvr32 wineasio.dll and run with jackd going. No audio devices are then listed. Has anyone configured codeweavers to use Alsa audio or jack correctly?

I have the MAthType add-on executable for Word on my desktop; how do I run that in Crossover?It would be best to ask this question on the CrossOver forums. There should be several available after their site is brought back up. James McKenzie
