Thanks!  I'll look into the alternatives.  Unfortuantely, I'm fairly
sure that Xen requires client OS support, so Windows is probably a
no-go.  But I had forgotten all about Lin4Win.  Does anyone have
promising reports on that?

Agreed.  Cakewalk has very bizarre font problems under Wine.  It only
works if I only install the Notation font.  Any text fonts cause it to
crash.  Very weird..
