Hi, I am just back to using WINE after several years. Linux has come a long way since then as has WINE. Because of my work I use several different computers during a week and therefore have compiled all of my windows friendly apps into portables several of which are not availible for linux. Is there currently a way to use my portables (on the thumbdrive) via wine? I would be totally MS free were it not for work. Thanks John

As this is a Gmail account, you can send the apps to me personally (not to the list!) and I will gladly check them for you. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il ?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-? ?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-??-?-? ?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-? ?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-?-? ?-?-?-?-?-?-?

Copying them to the Linux partition might be needed due to filesystem driver limitation though... (Which kind of defeats the purpose...) Else they should run from the z drive... (If they work under Wine, check appdb for the normal version...) Gert

By fine, I mean no differently than apps installed locally. If the app itself doesn't work in wine, this won't magically fix it (file bugs). -- -Austin
