Re: Varkon

This afternoon, I got Wine (windows emulator for Linux) working and - it
works, sort of. Vector 7 came up but, I couldn't get the CAM portion
working- it locked up. It was probably looking for files. I'll have to
study up on the fine points of file locations, fonts, config files, etc...
But , the whole thing is encouraging! Right now, I am intsalling
CorelDraw, from Linux onto the Windows part of the hard drive. Kind of
weird, but interesting. At least I might be able to use my investment in
Vector.
