The old Windows program Imaging runs well under Wine and is very good and fast at opening 2540 dpi tiff files as well as old fax files. If you have old Windows cardfiles they open in Wine but not in Windows. I haven't gotten around to figuring out how to open my old .mht files as well as IE 6 did.

the Run some older windows software, now that I'm using an Linux System.
:)

there are Alternatives that are avialble these days, and some of them are quite good.
Thus there is less reason to use those oldies, except for my memory, that reads that they were an great idea.

these days, the wine thing is used more for running games, mostly.

Xenu Link Sleuth - for checking websites for broken links on huge (> 10,000 pages) websites. Great for when the 500 link limit makes Screaming Frog not usable on a particular website.

CSS HTML Validator - for cleaning up HTML soup in files created by others in visual web page editors like FrontPage.

IrfanView - a lightweight image editor. I've since become comfortable with Gimp.
