WINE works with SuSE 9.0 and 10.0 right out of the box for some applications.
I've been using it to run Visio 4.0, which I use as my Poor Man's AutoCAD.
Works like a champ. Quattro Pro 1.0 for Windows also works fairly well, and
AmiPro is functional, but not 100%. Seems that the older apps written to run
on Win95 and Win98 fare better than those written for NT and XP. Test it out
with WINE running on SuSE and see. Nothing to lose.
