i’m installing OpenSuSE 11.1 this week. Still have the installation CD that came with my old IBM Aptiva. Maybe i can install and run it out of WINE under Linux.

I checked the Wine Appdb, and didn’t find it. A cursory check using google, shows two folks have installed it, but neither one reports usable functionality.

I would recommend installing VirtualBox, Qemu, or VM, all free and available in the repositories, and, after installing Windows there, install SmartSuite. It will work that way, I’m sure.

I’ve been using VB for about two years on a TabletPC and especially for Filemaker, it’s very reliable and, since Sun bought them, more feature rich than ever.

Of course, you can always pay CodeWeavers to customize WINE for you and then it’ll work.
