Hello Brian,

I tried last year with Fedora Core 1 and Wine. Dx4Win 6.03 is apparently
checking I/O at start and then issue an error and quit. I remember having
tried older versions without this behavior but was not successful even if it
loads OK (don't remember excaly why but probably beacause of fonts display,
but not sure :-)

I completely switched to Linux last year and I still keep a Windows machine
only for Dx4Win.

I will try again probably with Fedora Core 3 and again Wine and maybe also
QEmu but I don't know when (FYI : I 'm trying only with Open Source
emulators, no Win4Lin, VMWare, ...)

If and when I will have positive results I will surely post on the list. I'm
still dreaming about a Dx4Win Linux version ;-)

As this is mostly off topic here, I will not post anymore about Linux, only
via private mail.

73,
Philippe
