As an alternative to Wine you could try something like VMWare (or Plex86). I use VMWare a lot to run my accounting package. VMWare works ok on XTerms I believe. I've not tried plex86. Also, you might want to try Crossover Office (www.codeweavers.com) as it runs all of office 2000 pretty well so it might run the app in question. I use CodeWeavers other product (Crossover Plugin) to run Quicktime et al under Linux. Regards On Wed, 2002-11-13 at 22:12, Greig McGill wrote:

As I have mentioned on this list before, I subscribed to TransGaming's WineX software. For those of you who don't know, WineX is a commerical fork of the WINE codebase specifically intended for gaming.

This got me thinking.

At work, I have a client who would benefit greatly by moving to Linux desktops, and remote X apps. The only issue (and isn't it always?) is that they are dependent on one really crappy windows app. I've tried using std. wine, but with little success (as with most real windows apps and wine in my experience). I wondered if winex fares much better for non-games related software?

Have you tried any random windows apps?

I'd love to hear the results.
