Gordon,

Dick Eastman wrote about running TMG using Win4Lin to allow Windows to run
as an application on Linux. This is the same setup that Darrell is using.

I agree with you that a port of TMG to Linux would be ideal, I also agree
with Bob about the available market. So I think we are stuck with using
something like Win4Lin if we wish to migrate our genealogy to Linux and
continue using TMG.

Regards,
Dennis L. Bright
