Greetings!

I began advocating among clients and friends to use Password Safe
shortly after discovering it several months ago.  Besides using it
in Windows XP, I also use it in Linux - under Wine, the Windows
emulator.

I'm aware that there are several related projects written for Linux
and I've tried most of them.  Though all are quite good, they lack
many of the features of Password Safe.  But the biggest problem:
database compatibility.

When I used those Linux password managers, I had a devil of a time
keeping my password databases synchronized.  Using Password Safe
in Linux allows me to share the very same database file between both
operating systems.  This works well!

I'm hoping to build some interest among Unix users (Wine supports
other Unix'), so I am maintaining Password Safe in Wine's application
database, AppDB, here:

http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=4017

As you'll see if you check the Version->3.04 at that site, there are
just two features not working under Wine - Autotype and Help.  This
really highlights the excellence of both Password Safe and Wine.
