Jeff,

Last week I bought a 3 month subscription to Cedega and have been trying
it since. Wow. Half-Life and Unreal run great. Only one problem so far,
in the newer versions of Cedega the OpenGL does not work in Unreal, but
DirectX works fine so it is really a minor problem form. Thanks for
pointing me back to Cedega.
