Dave -

OK, but if you don't want to use Windows (via Parallels or VMWare or
Boot Camp if you're on a Mac), then you have to accept that you're
setting yourself up for a harder job and more potential problems down
the road.

Using WINE or some other non-standard solution is like trying to find
a pair of needle-nose pliers to turn a big bolt; and you're struggling
with this simply because you don't want to use the wrench that the
bolt was designed for in the first place...

You asked for a solution, I gave the simplest one! *shrug* ...But I
guess I'm just "lazy". As an IT Manager with over a dozen years of
experience in the industry, I've decided that the ideological wars
between Apple and Microsoft and *nix are not worth the wasted time and
energy. I prefer to use the best (or simplest) tool that reliably
gets the job done. Sometimes that's a Mac, sometimes that's a PC with
Windows, and sometimes that's a Linux/Unix shell.
