Thank you, Martin, Your reply was nevertheless useful. I have learnt about opportunities to compile fortran jobs directly in Linux environment, and now I am studying the variety of packages - gcc33, gcc44. Yesterday I managed to install Dosbox after some unsuccessful attempts to install dosemu (after which I had followed an advice to install wine). I think my problem with q4wine was its first launch immediately after installation as root. Thank you once again. Your wine environment is very healthy. [Laughing] WnDrinker
