AFAIK, it won't do much for you. I think what you want is WINE, http://www.winehq.com/ which provides an environment for Windows system calls to X-windows under Unix/Linux. You just download the package, read the readme, and run the confgurator, and Bob's your proverbial. The good news is that OPro is almost usable under WINE, but there are a number of annoyances which prevent it from being suitable as a production environment. -- Tony van der Hoff | mailto:tony@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Buckinghamshire, England
