Update: The tally dealer insisted that their 6.3 will work on linux and they had CONFIRMED it from the Tally people itself. I asked how? They said some will work. I asked if there is a linux version of the installer, he said no, the same one will. I said it's not possible. Remember I want to use it as a server and client. He insisted.
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?
Remember even the package said the system requirements as Windows 98 n Above.
So it's 10th April already and I am without a viable alternative Account package to Tata EX which is as Windows dependant as one can be.

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.

Thats nothing. Once, in my college, some smart ass students were trying to run a "crack" on a Linux (SuSE) machine to checkout whether they could "crack" it like they did with their XP machines. ROTFLMAO....

Sometime back there was a discussion on using tally in wine. What was the result finally?
