I haven't had a problem with it. The documentation is good. There are a few things that are quirky since it running under Linux emulation. There are some feature missing from the Linux port that exists on the windows version, but hay it free and it much faster than anything I have ever used. I don't think a direct version is all that necessary at this moment I don't think it would be and get enhancement over running it in the linux mode. Roderick P.
