Yes, I've seen many reports that it runs WinWord, however to do that one probably needs a fair share of MS dll's as some of the emulated copies are fairly broken. I personally haven't tried either word or Excel, but it's reasonably fast, and probably worth a try. Chances are you'll need to recompile your kernel (with options USER_LDT in your config file). I personally haven't used wine in a long time, but snapshots are made about twice a month. > Is there a site with alleged compatibilities listed? I've long lost the url, but wine itself is on sunsite (/pub/Linux/ALPHA/developtment or something like that), and its newsgroup has a low noise ratio. - alex
