I know that this is a long dead thread, but I'm on holidays now, and have time to catch up with the FreeBSD lists... Wine is actually very useful (to me) and has been for several years. I run two applications under it that there aren't other alternatives for (besides firing up a windows box): It runs the Motorola DSP assembler, tools and simulator beautifully. A simple shell wrapper makes asm56300 work better under Berkeley make under gvim or xemacs than it probably ever has under windows. It runs (mostly) the Lotus Notes client (there seem to be some thread-related hangs, and don't hit an HTTP link, because it will go looking for internet explorer). They're important for me. Word documents I care much less about, and StarOffice and AbiWord both deal with, with varying degrees of success. -- Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
