I agree with the part about brain dead but here you =20 can't access many government forms with out it. Governments aren't =20 usually recognized for their technological brilliance. I'm assuming that you are using only the executable because I have =20 tried to download, unpack and install it windows style and it didn't =20 want to cooperate. This should be better than IES4Linux that I haven't got going yet. It =20 seems to want a newer wine and I'm running wine-1.1.2,1 and have't =20 continued to investigate. I'll give an IE6 executable a try. Thanks again, ed
