Ok, following up on this... I'm pleased (and a little flabbergasted) to say that I now have our software running on Linux using Wine. Given that we only bought the Linux machine this morning and I've never run Linux before, this is one hell of a result (obviously I have a lot of testing to do, but so far it's looking remarkably good). So I just need to follow up on my last question: how would I go about packaging Wine and our software as a single application that can be run directly from Linux (or at the least installed as such). I'm still fairly hazy on how the whole package thing works - I get the impression that you register a piece of software to some central registry or other? But then would there be some issues with the fact that our software isn't open-source? Sorry, I'm not entirely sure even how to frame the question yet... > What strang/ancient distribution does not install a grahical package > manager by default? Maybe you just didn't find it ;) More than possible. I'm using one of those ultra-cheap PCs that come with Linux preinstalled (it's Linpus Lite), and I had to search through a lot of forums to find out what to do. In fairness, getting to this stage in two hours shows that I didn't find it *that* hard - it just *felt* horrible. > You better should answer to the mailing list, btw.

You're telling me - I'm getting every message through three times, and I can't reply to the list without entering it manually into the to: field. Never mind, now I know. Sorry about that. Thanks for your help Danny
