I have never tried to run any MS-DOS programs using wine, but most of them seem to work with Dosemu. MChess, Genius 3, Genius 5/DOS and Fritz 3 all work (although MChess is the only program which is able to use big hash tables). Unfortunately, Rebel and Hiarcs 5 do not work. I believe that Hiarcs 7 should work, the problem in Hiarcs 5 seems to be the copy protection scheme. >I have a version of Chess Tiger compiled with GnuC under DOS, with GnuC DOS 32 >bits extender. Any chance that this Tiger runs under Linux using a DOS emulator? It is possible, yes. It is hard to know without trying... But if your program is compiled with GnuC, why don't you simply recompile using gcc for Linux? Porting a GnuC program to Linux is usually trivial (you probably don't need to change a single line of code). Is there any hope we will see a Linux version of Chess Tiger? :-) Tord
