My wife's last tie to Winblows is AmiPro (now called WordPro). I still have my orginal Dos6.x/Windows 3.11 install hanging around just so she can use AmiPro. Anyway, it runs under Wine, but I found that configuring printing & fonts is a real bear. Not a plug-and-run kind of setup I was hoping for. The app also had some fairly serious screen refreshing problems (leaving lines and boxes all over the document when pagin up and down). To be fair, I did not read any manuals while installing Wine.... +------------------------ | christoph | linuxguy at ici.net | http://home.ici.net/~linuxguy - Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" on the first line of the message body to discuss-request at blu.org (Subject line is ignored).
