Hi Jimmy!

 BM> Semi-educated guess time: WINE might work -- it is a utility which can
 BM> run some Windows programmes in Ubuntu.  There's also a compatability
 BM> list at www.winehq.org ==> works, does't work, sort of works.
 BM> Another options would be to install a virtual machine -- I prefer
 BM> Oracle's VirtualBox over the option in Ubuntu Software (Centre) and
 BM> create a Virtual Windows.
 JA> I used to use Parallels for Windows stuff I had to have for work,
 JA> but we have finally moved away from Windows *ONLY* stuff. I did
 JA> end up loading xubuntu via VirtualBox and it worked fine!
 BM> Good!  ...Actually I'm amazed how well this cross-platform stuff works,
 BM> considering the differences in the deep-down coding.  ...Like I have
 BM> said to Nancy - it's all various sizes of Black Boxes!
 JA> Yes it is amazing, and yeah it's all basically the same thing
 JA> deep down. :-) I did have to have some terminal commands, but
 JA> found them easily enough on the CHIRP pages. :-)

I actually sometimes prefer a command line over GUI: know exactly what 
is going on and sometimes can see whay it didn't function as an error 
message will be displayed.
