I consult for a weekly newspaper that wants to move to Linux, but can't
give up PM6 (they hate PM7). I tried PM6 under Wine about a year
ago but it wasn't especially stable. Recently I put VirtualBox
with Win2000 on one of their Linux machines and installed PM6 into that.
This works perfectly. It also makes for a simple work flow. They
love it. I'll be setting up all their machines with this configuration
in the next couple of months.

Regards,

Steve
