I should have been clearer about what I meant... I have no idea if the compatibilty layer is capable of this; I just thought it would be something to try. The little sentence about technical support and -questions was meant to point you in the right direction if this doesn't work, or if you needed further advice about using linux compatibility. Hope you get it working... :) Regards, Clayton _________________________________________________________________ Learn how to choose, serve, and enjoy wine at Wine @ MSN. http://wine.msn.com/
