Here's a snippet from the pkg-descr: (in case you don't have bsd up and running) "Wine is a Microsoft Windows 3.1/95/98/NT/2000 emulator running under Unix on i386 (and compatible) CPUs. It is still alpha quality, but is definitely making progress. Most applications already work, more or less, including even a couple of games." The port directory is emulators/wine. Hope it works for your app.s, Peace, Clayton _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
