Old-Topics: How bout Master of Orion II under Wine? (was Re: Office97 under WINE)
Subject: Office97 under WINE
I noticed that the original thread name was whiped out by my MOO2 addition. The
next message in the thread had the MSOffice stuff, but not my stuff about MOO2.
I did not intend to change the thread. I saw how the thread just died away
after only two responses to this important question ( getting MS Office to work
under Wine). I figured that I would just rename the thread again so everybody
can help out the person with the original question. This is no flame, but it
would be *nice* if somebody actually answered my inquiry about MOO2 under Wine,
and I didn't mean to throw dirt on the fire and kill the thread.
