What a waste of time and resources and money!  Why not just use the Film=20
Gimp, which is aready developed and used by all of the Hollywood houses=20
now and much better than Photoshop will ever be?  Wine is such a big=20
waste of anybody's time.  Emulation can never be as good as true ports. =20
Wine, as any emulator, was only meant to be a fix, crutch, if you will,=20
until a true solution was developed.

Planet Earth - a subsidiary of Microsoft=AE.
