But if we start letting them know nowthat we need Linux support, future versions may well run in Wine whenthey see that as a viable market. Don't forget, every software manufacturer that releases Linux- orWine- compatible software sets precedent for the others. It also helpsmore people move to Linux, which is a snowball effect. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.comhttp://gibberish.co.ilא-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת; ä-ö-ü-ß-Ä-Ö-Ü
