I think we all know that, but doing so (searching) and then reading what it is, how it works and then how to make it work for Linux (if it's a specific software that only runs on Windows), etc. isn't reasonable to do, unless you have the time and feel like going the extra mile to help someone (no problem with someone doing that, just saying). -- Not really a wanna-be, but I don't know everything.

It's the OP's responsibility to clearly and succinctly explain the issue. Placing the onus on the responder to research the OP's arcane references is not a reasonable expectation in Usenet ... but you knew that already, didn't you?.

Not here it ain't...if it takes me a few extra seconds to find out something then I will do it. <shrug> Object as far as I am concerned is to try and help....of course, YMMV.
