I downlaoaded a copy and tried to use it but it didn't work. I took a copy from a win XP box and it did work. I talked to some of the Wine guys about this and they said the dll's I was looking for were too big and complicated ot be part of Wine 1.0. However M$ makes a number of them available through their site. Here's part of the response and a link: You can also download the necessary version from Microsoft. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q259403/ "Vcredist.exe installs the latest run-time components for Visual C++ applications" or http://www.msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnvc60… "Redistributing Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 Applications" I beleive that this package does indeed install under Wine so you can get some good stuff there, assuming you are licensed to do so. (I.e. - have a legal Windows license somewhere...) Cheers, Mark
