h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Me too, but unfortunately my company prefers CDE. Aah, well....

But it /is/ running natively. Absolutely, completely and totally, in every way! It would be confusing the issue enormously to claim that it is not a native application, simply because it was originally written for another OS, when it is running natively.

And anyway, are you sure it's not just compiled using WINElib (I think that's what Corel did) in which case it really is in pure Linux executable form...

Can you not just run it anyway?

These days I don't run solaris (see above) and try my best to keep out of the way of the desktop things (CDE, KDE and GNOME) and just use Window Maker. Seems like it does what I want and is good enough to look at as well.

Ben, you and I are just going to have to agree to disagree on this one. What you and I consider 'native' are two different things. Like I wouldn't consider a Linux program running on FreeBSD using the linux compatability libaries to be native either.

All the technical evidence I've seen says that it is predominately the Windows code running under WINE. Which is what you expect from looking at the box. But then I suppose the product isn't aimed at people who care. At the end of the day I needed something to re-do my resume in and went for the convenience of buying something over the counter rather than ordering it online.

Give it six months and I'll probably be using KOffice or Applixware 5
