I compiled twin a couple of weeks ago. It works within its declared
limits, but seems to be less strong than wine. I was able to play solitare
and use the calculator (both of which I already have in Linux), but was
unable to run PageMaker or MyLabel (the only two programs I need to run in
Linux)
I haven't tried wine in quite a while. Is it likely to run PageMaker?
Luck,
Dwarf
