It will _try_ to use those native dll's the Wine Administrator tells it to use in $WINEPREFIX/.config [DllOverrides]. IMO this is reasonable: [DllOverrides] "msvcrt" = "native, builtin, so" "*" = "builtin, so, native" You will probably not have much success with XP native dll's, but YMMV. With Windows, newer is nastier. Nasty is just what they do. Wine does not give a squirrel's tush if you have an XP native partition or not. It is just another branch in the linux virtual filesystem tree to Wine, which is after all just a big hairy *NIX application program and library. > > Thanks in advance, > Joe Hoot > > Lawson ---oof--- ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
