Attached a message I recieved from teh Netraverse folks. Anyone willing to research making this work? I'll do what I can. Mike ******************************************************************************************Hello Mike, Currently, Merge is only available for SCO/Caldera UnixWare. The main problem for Win4Lin support on BSD is the kernel - Win4Lin ties directly into the Linux kernel, and the BSD kernel is different enough (and the code/libraries/etc are probably different enough) that porting to BSD would be non-trivial. Currently, the developers are more interested in improving support and features that are available for Linux (adding support for more Windows languages, adding Windows ME support, increasing the RAM available for Windows, etc) than in porting Win4Lin to a new OS. If we had enough large-company/corporate interest in a BSD port, that might change, but at present we have no plans for a BSD port. Please let us know if you have any further questions or comments.
