Hello,

I've put together a step-by-step guide for running Microsoft Office
2000 on FreeBSD 5.3 or later. Office 2000 requires the registry files
from CrossOver to install and run on BSD. The registry files were used
to save the time of having to set everything up from scratch.. You can
do the full install on BSD and bypass CX if you want to spend the time
and fix up the template registry files that Wine creates.

I have also got PhotoShop 6 and a friend has PhotoShop 7 running,
Visio 2000, Dreamweaver MX (not MX 2004 btw) and some other small
programs like Google's Picasa 2 to install and run in Wine on FreeBSD.
