You know....

I have that "Speedpack II" for BP7 and the full BP7 with the source and the
turbovision source.
By the way... they did leave out some of the "crutial" stuff from those
source disks so you cannot recompile your libs as optimized.. They did
however give you the binaries of which if you really need it, you'll need a
disassembler to put it back to assembler source... Ugh.

Has anyone tried running any of these or applications written for them under
WINE and Linux????

I'd be interested in any successes, failures, other cliques???
