I don't have Linux installed (yet). The report of 440 "Automatition 
Error" is from one of the Linux testers.
Only thing I could provide is the source code, since I'm under the 
impression that you (Mike) knows Visual Basic very well, spotting the 
problem will be easy if it's an "obvious" problem.

Otherwise, I guess the only thing I can do is to get myself a copy of 
Linux. Has anyone any particular version to recommend for my purpose 
(install Linux and WINE as quickly as possible and find the bug)?
