Dorling Kindersley CDROMs "Eyewitness Encyclopedia of Science", > "Eyewitness History of the World" etc.). I've found wine to be a great help for these very type of applications, see the following note, for example: http://www.winecentric.com/wiki/index.php?Jacaranda%20Atlas%20Mapping%20Skills%20v2 My children run the applications on RedHat 7.2 with no Windows DLL's installed by me, (ie: apart from any that are installed by the programs' own installation process). Generally, the results are great. I plan to submit some of these apps to the codeweavers application database shortly.
