} | If Linux software doesn't run, for any reason, then the emulator has failed. } } Or the software is poorly written, relies on bugs or undocumented features. } No. If it runs under Linux it should run under the emulator. Good emulation is fully bug compatible. Remember the various DOS emulators. They emulate many bugs and undocumented features. When you type `VER' they respond with `MS-DOS Version 5.00', not `FreeBSD ...' The intent is to run software. Without prejudice. The emulator should not become a software critic. Richard
