[Papyrus-L] Papyrus under Linux

[Hugh Gunz]

Sorry -- I haven't had any experience with any of them -- I'm still stuck 
in the Windows mud. The DOS emulator idea was a suggestion from a 
colleague, who hadn't tried them, either :) He simply listed a bunch of 
them that came with his particular Linux installation. If you've got the 
same flavour of Linux you'll have them, too, I guess; if not, the list 
won't exactly help you. Wish I could be more use.

Cheers
Hugh Gunz
