Just cuz I've been using ACDSee for so long, I have a copy of "Classic" (roughly v2.4) and it installed fine under Wine. Runs fine, too. Paint Shop Pro is a different issue altogether. It installs fine. In the installation I disabled what I thought figured might be the most troublesome options and basically did a bare-bones installation. No joy. Blows up with a Runtime Error." Not the most helpful message I've ever seen. Just to clarify, I have installed these apps thru Wine, rather than attempting a native installation. So it's off to find something other than GIMP or PhotoShop, neither of which are suited to my needs. I guess it's progress. RtR
