Unfortunately, it is until the Broderbunds and KnowledgeAdventures and Adobes and Quarks and Intuits and Uleads and Macromedias and Autodesks and FileMakers and all the other little and small s/w houses start making native Linux s/w. And, yes, that leads to the question, "why should we make a native Linux version, if it works under Wine?" To which I say, "If you build a Linux version using winelib, and support it officially, I don't mind." -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jefferson, LA USA "Democracy is woman's greatest invention.
