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. Jim Showalter ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
