Got a question on your post.  You mention Crossover as a commercial 
product (which it is).  But the way you phrase your sentence, it appears 
that WINE is not.  Is that true - am I reading too much into your 
statement??  I thought WINE was a commercial product also (i.e. not part 
of the GNU environment).

Am I wrong?  I thought you had to pay to get WINE?  I run a dual boot 
PC, running WInXP and RHEL4, and would like to run WINE just to aid in 
my migration away from Microsoft.  Your prior posts indicate a 
reasonable degree of success in running Microchip software under WINE, 
thus my interest in your experiences.

Thanks for your input.
