WINE

I have been using several trial versions (2.0.1 and 2.0.2) of Crossover Office. Actually it doesn't do really much. Admittedly, it really has some handy functions: "Reset Crossover Office" to terminate any stuck wine applications and "Simulate Windows Reboot". These are actually scripts (located in /opt/cxoffice/bin), that could be largely replaced by own solutions.

I tested the encrypted file sharing application KDX under wine. It works perfectly. I wonder why it isn't on the wine gold list. The reason why it works so well is that it doesn't rely heavily on the windows base, but does most of the needed stuff (graphics, etc.) itself: KDXClient1110-Win.zip. BTW: I used as a tracker hlsux.bugdave.com.
