Please?

I was just reading June LinuxFormat which rates suse 8.2 (installs
Codeweavers WINE as standard) and the reviewer "just out of interest"
ran adobe photoshop 5.0 from the windows partition and it worked.
The quote under the screenshot was "Blimey, we weren't expecting that
to work. It's Adobe Photoshop, folks!"
Kind of carries a double edged message.

I ambled over to http://appdb.codeweavers.com/ which lists some 1600
apps various people have tried. I don't know what to make of the
layout on that site, I couldn't decide what to make of problems
reported eg back in 2001, but at least it says whether or not someone
somewhere managed to get it working.

HTH
