OK, but the OP wanted a solution in linux I'm sure, or there wouldn't
have been more info (which I snipped) detailing some linux thingies.

Also, if I'm wrong, no mention was made that _any_ solution would
suffice. Some (many) of us don't have any access to MS stuff at home. I
happen to have a WIN98 machine, but there's nothing but $CHILD's games
on it. All else is linux or MAC. Unless specified or the option is
opened intentionally, I presume queries pertain only to linux.
