You would expect it to run under Win4Lin of course as it is then running in Windows. I am sure that Tom could get it to run under Wine if he had the will - maybe his next job after Zoot32
When I reinstall Linux, I think I might go the Win4lin route anyway. I have a WIN2000 CD, so it only cost me the the price of Win4lin. While there are some programs around that are XP only, most still run on WIN2000.
I enjoyed my brief flirtation with Linux last year.

Linux is on my list this year, after persistent problems with XP’s automatic Windows update, its authentication procedures and so on.

Yes, I look forward to that. It should be easier to get Zoot to run in Linux once it is a straightforward 32-bit program (but I’m no expert on this - needless to say!).

Yes, I plan to re-install it this year, its all part of my two millionth attempt at getting myself sorted out !!
I have to say that discovering Lyx and Emacs has helped as I can see these becoming my two core programs and of course they are multi-platform. I have just received the O’Reilly book on using Emacs and I am even more amazed by the capability of Emacs. I just can’t remember the key strokes so its a bit frusutrating at the moment. However, I have never been a fan of using a mouse because of how it slows everything down, so I will be persevering with the key strokes.

Neither am I, but it is interesting to see that Info select are specifically advertising the capability to run under Wine (or was it cross over office) so maybe Linux is becoming a bit more mainstream and more worth the effort for Tom.

Same here, and I’ve been making special efforts recently to cut down on mousing. The problem is that I didn’t get the opportunity to touch type at school, and my efforts over the years to do so have always been frustrated by the need to hunt and peck to earn my daily bread while struggling to work through Mavis Beacon’s exercises.
