Hi Lynn,<br><br>VMWare is a virtual machine environment; the "player" program is a free download from http://www.vmware.com/products/player. You can't create virtual machines with it, but you can run ("play") machines that others have made. So, someone packaged up a Linux virtual machine, complete with a copy of Xastir. You fire up vmware on your Windows machine, and then load the Xastir/Linux machine inside there, where it runs as if it was running native on its own PC. Really quite clever.<br><br>I actually do the reverse... on my Linux PC I have a little virtual machine where I run Windows, for those few things that can only run there. Works out great.<br><br>Anyway, for a link, I'd start with the Windows link you referenced from the Xastir site.<br><br>Good luck,<br><br>Greg KO6TH<br><br><br>> Date: Thu, 21 Jan 2010 22:59:06 -0500<br>> From: ldeffenb@homeside.to<br>> To: aprssig@tapr.org<br>> Subject: Re: [aprssig] Replacement for UI-View any one<br>> <br>> Peter Mallett wrote:<br>> > There is already, it`s called *Xastir* and it is* *under continual <br>> > development.<br>> ><br>> > Either run on a Linux box ( the best ) or Windows / VMWare ( yuk )<br>> <br>> VMWare under Windows is not what was requested, but I tried to find the <br>> VMWare image and failed.
