SoulSe Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 There are only two programs I miss in Linux. The first is a Flash editor. I used to use Macromedia Flash in Windoze. Flash is great and I would love to animate again. I also miss a good sms-from-desktop client. I used to use smspop (great little app which crashes under wine). I also used ICQ to sms (a pity gaim can't utilise that feature of ICQ). I've looked everywhere. Any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pbprabhuram Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 You can absolutly run the windows macromedia flash MX with linux . By using WINE, it is a windows emulator for linux ( i have tried and it runs ). Browse the following sites , i hope will get a solution , 1) www.frankscorner.org 2) www.winhq.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramfree17 Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 pb, its winehq.org, you are missing an e. you could also try the dataparty mirror which provides src.rpm and rpm packages. ciao! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted December 18, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 I have WineX installed on my machine, which over-rides straight Wine. Besides for that, I do not believe in emulating windows in order to run software, this does nothing to improve the state of native Linux software. I also think that Macromedia Flash is an over priced piece of software (ridiculously so). In short: I want software written for Linux. No substitutes. Ever.
