Chris V. is a fucking prick, but we've been through this, Forte Agent
runs under Wine, even the final 8.0 version I'm using, much less is it
a problem with 1.x. You *know* this.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent. States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.

It doesn't run on Linux or Mac.

It's Windows-only.

So Wine is Windows? I'm not literally typing *this post* in Agent 8,
under Wine? Are you just making up facts, pulling them out of your
butt, now?

That's retarded, and you know it, you're just using our use of Agent
as a cheap point to make, about how amazing Winblows software is. It's
not about the platform it's for, it's about the product having unique
value on *any* platform, that's the idea behind Wine and CodeWeavers.
You're trying to conflate some simple app like Agent with M$ Office or
Adobe Photoshop, it doesn't make basic sense. Agent is precisely the
kind of app that Wine exists to run, an essential, smaller tool. I
was told by Skype's Copilot that Office 2016 works OK under Wine, I'm
actually curious about that, if I can find a legit copy of it. You
yourself have talked about clinging to outdated versions of the suite.
Your arguments just don't pass muster.

I very strongly doubt that something as simplistic as Forte Agent won't
run on Linux with a minimum of Wine configuration.
