Hi,

wine can run windows applications, but don't expect any mirracles here, it can run them (most of them), but they will in most cases not run so well under linux as they would under windows.

the link to wine is : http://www.winehq.com/

but if you could tell me what distro are you using there might be a easier way to install wine...

Sincerely

im using fedora core 1.

You can also try www.transgaming.com

Hi,

wine is for applications

winex is for games

but since you wan't a application to run under linux (not a game right?)

then wine is for you

just open up a terminal window

and type



if you wan't to update the entire system


Sincerely
Robert B

I type that and get this.
