Jerry, I don't have an answer for you. Maybe some one else on this forum can help. In the meantime, I have posted your question on another PAF forum that I also subscribe to. Also see this site which should be a big help: http://genealogysoftwareguide.com/paf-personal-ancestral-file-under-linux-wine/ "Andrew McNabb had problems with the editing screen for individuals, but forcing a refresh of the desktop/screen (through changing to a virtual desktop and back for instance) seems to have cleared up that problem." http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/linux/paf/ http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=1706&iTestingId=407 rmrichesjrJanuary 25th, 2007, 10:54 AM PAF 5.2 does indeed install and run very well under Wine version 0.9.29. Instructions are at http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=1706 rmrichesjr Please look at the top and bottom of that page for current (January, 2007) information. (I am waiting a bit longer before removing some of the obsolete information from 2006 and earlier on that page. I'm one of the volunteer maintainers for that AppDB page.) http://ssdirect.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=1 Has an interesting article by someone running PAF on several Linux machines. I hope this is of help. Bill
