I purchased Code Weaver for Linux way back in the day. Compared to other platforms, I was less than impressed. Also for that it's worth, I had a professional falling out with Macromedia over their refusal to port any apps to Linux. That was years ago >5 or so. Still to this day nada, and Adobe is not better. No hint of a full on Acrobat for Linux, and not Acrobat Reader. For what it's worth, I have stopped buying updates to my MM/Adobe products since they all run on windows. My single biggest need in Linux, which is why I tend to keep a windows machine around. Is for Vector graphics creation, manipulation, and rendering/rastering to bitmap format or etc. My primary apps for vectors are Flash (for it's drawing abilities, not animation or etc also ability to take a bitmap and turn it into a crude vector), Illustrator, and believe it or not Fireworks. With newer versions of Fireworks they added ability to create and modify vectors, but of course can only save to a bitmap format. Other than a .png format that retains vector information that pretty much only Fireworks understands. I purchased those apps for Windows, why would I not purchase them if they were available on Linux. Given the lack of any professional quality vector graphics applications on Linux. The first to produce one, would own that market, IMHO. -- William L. Thomson Jr. Gentoo/Java
