Pity - SimplyMEPIS Drops Win4Lin 9x Support
I just read the announcement for Win4Lin 9x. It states that:
"Please note that MEPIS no longer supports Win4Lin 98 which required a patched kernel that was incompatible with Kernel Team guidelines. Win4lin users should consider upgrading to Win4lin Pro which does not not require a kernel patch"
Pity. IMHO, Win4Lin 98 is much better than Win4Lin Pro. Win4Lin is so much faster.
Since many folks never run a Windows emulator, I can understand why SimplyMEPIS no longer includes a pathched kernel for Win4Lin. But wouldn't it be better if SimplyMEPIS made a patched kernel available for download for those users who want to use the faster Win4Lin Program?

win4lin Pro
Win4Lin Pro runs like a dead dog and it isn't much better with kqemu installed. I have a fast processor and heaps of swap space as well as 1G of RAM but I'd rather use Win4Lin original if I need to use a windows program. I now have a copy of the Australian Tax software which runs under Linux so that leaves one program (Oziexplorer, a map reading program) to get going under wine this time.
I'll look on the win4lin site for a patched Debian kernel for the future use of Win4Lin.

Which version of E-Record are you currently running? I have tried a few and they all had glitches under Wine and Crossover..

pilot release
i got a pilot release by snail mail from someone on the gnucash list
and the more people email them the more likely we are to get the full release, and updates!
but I have got it here.

i have heard back from ATO that was this only intended as a pilot, and at the end they will decide whether to go ahead
"The Linux version of ECI was only made available as a pilot to a limited
number of users. That pilot has now finished and an evaluation will be
completed in due course. Once the evaluation is complete the ATO will
determine if or when a Linux version of ECI will be made available to
the general public."
