Greetings: More and more I'm getting the Subject report or something like, "This Pgm Requires Windows," from software bundled with hardware devices that work with Linux but need to be diagnosed or setup with the vendors S/W.. The latest is trying to flash a USR Sportster firmware from X2 to V90. The older s/w used to work from Dos, that I've done many times with USR Courier's.. I have DRDos7.03, FreeDos and MSDos7.1 that used to work but no longer it seems.. Can I get some suggestions how to solve this increasingly worse problem? I know about Wine, and have played with it, but it's huge for something that could be simple and I don't have it on any machine all the time.. I have no machines with MSWindows either, therefore this query.. Perhaps there is no easy way like a Dos program that might work emulating Windows simply?? Just thought I'd ask.. TIA.. (We run various versions of Slackware here, with kernels except the very latest.) -- Hal. . - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
