Well, persoanlly I'm also using Linux ...
The main help would be to have the driver for the graphics (screen) output
in windows,
where there is only a dos-driver as far as I noticed.
If I could take the makefile (.dsw) of snapshot 990122 visual studio, I
could try
to get it running for 5.0.1.

Thanks for all the help!
