If you say forum, I have to presume you mean a web interface rather than one for a newsreader. Incomparably worse, imnsho -- I do frequent a few such, but wouldn't if I could get them on a newsreader; I hate mousing all over everywhere, and the web is desperately slow, at least on my browsers. But in any case, I'm just about convinced that there is still no way I can run my topo software under wine and make it do what I need it to. Not yet. Maybe the Alpha Plus Technoids can, and if so it's major progress, which I'm glad to salute; but for so subtechnoid a user as myself, ... <shrug> Thanks nevertheless for all the help; my gratitude is no less for not having succeeded. I'll try again in another year or three; or maybe CXO will work this time ... -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Fedora 8 & 9; Alpine 1.10, Pan 0.132; Privoxy 3.0.6; Dillo 0.8.6, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2, Opera 9, Firefox 2 & 3 Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about.
