To humor him i said find, come and install. So the person comes to the office with the package, loads the CD on a RH9 platform and tries to run the setup.exe or install.exe file. Needless to say it did not work. But since I am no PHD in anything linux and would like to give a benefit of doubt before writing off somebody, was it possible that the person could have installed tally from the CD that they supplied?
short answer NO. no way in hell (or heaven)
theoretically... if it was supported under wine, maybe they could have tried but that's a long shot.. and its been confirmed a long while ago on this list that it fails.
did they say that they actually ran setup.exe under linux ? { rolling on the floor laughing :-) } .. this one is even better that a well know isp telling me that "windows linux" is not out yet officially and hence not supported.
