Good. I wanted to make sure I wasn't introducing Windows problems into Linux.

No comment there but if you run/install anything above wine 1.0 it should be that best deal you can get for running Windows programs under Linux.

Okay, I'll start studying a bit about Wine (which usually means, I install it and start playing around with it).

If the program runs under Wine, then yeah...overkill.

I'll install Wine and follow up with a status report.

Thanks.
