	If you say forum, I have to presume you mean a web interface 
rather than one for a newsreader. Incomparably worse, imnsho -- I do 
frequent a few such, but wouldn't if I could get them on a newsreader; I 
hate mousing all over everywhere, and the web is desperately slow, at 
least on my browsers.

	But in any case, I'm just about convinced that there is still no 
way I can run my topo software under wine and make it do what I need it 
to. Not yet.

	Maybe the Alpha Plus Technoids can, and if so it's major 
progress, which I'm glad to salute; but for so subtechnoid a user as 
myself, ... <shrug>

	Thanks nevertheless for all the help; my gratitude is no less for 
not having succeeded. I'll try again in another year or three; or maybe 
CXO will work this time ...
