Hi Tina!

Haven't had any luck with Wine running anything. Wine and the program
will start, run for a minute and then lock the machine requiring a
reboot. Oh, Wine *is* like, Windows!

I have one Windows database program I would *like* to run, but I have
given up on it and I am having a friend write a new front end for it in
something that will work cross-platform. Then we can use it on Mac, too!

Regards,

Pete
