Can you recommend CD-writing software which can burn .ISO files? www.goldenhawk.de .. This has shareware programs to write ISO images to SCSI CDR drives in DOS, ATAPI CDR drives in a DOS box, and also native win32 versions of the software. Some features are disabled but it will certainly write an ISO image. > > > I think that you wont be stuck with windoze ever. > > (just maybe to play your directx game once in while) > > I assume that means that WINE doesn't emulate DirectX then. Unclear. I think there is incomplete DirectX support. DirectSound is certainly know to cause problems. -- JP Morris - aka DOUG the Eagle (Dragon) -=UDIC=- DOUG-15 AT bigfoot DOT com Fun things to do with the Ultima games (http://ithe.cjb.net) Developing a U6/U7 clone (http://fly.to/ire) d+++ e+ N+ T++ Om U1234!56!7'!8!KA u++ uC+++ uF+++ uG---- uLB---- uA--- nC+ nR---- nH+++ nP++ nI nPT nS nT wM- wC- y a(YEAR - 1976)
