Have you tried the coward's way out - DOSEMU ??? I got Capman to run
that way although I have not yet tried it on this SuSE 5.3 system.
I unmounted msdos drive C:, then booted directly off it (yes everyone
says you cannot or should not do that, but according to my xyl,
stupidity is one of my few redeeming features ...). Dosemu not only
ran Capman, but also Ka-Gold 9.04 (sadly NOT the big memory dpmi
version) and Hyperlog. I think I was also able to run K6STI's AO
package. It would be nice if he or W7EL (EZNEC) did a Linux version,
but neither would be free of course.
