3. FEMM - Evaluating 1° approach
Compile FEMM
The application does not use MFC datatypes
The application is too integrated to the GUI
The command line use still runs the GUI

5. FEMM – Routing on 2° approach
WINE Approach
WINE distros are strongly dependant on the platform. Compiled packages exist for:
Ubuntu (Our local PC) – OK
RH9 (Fully compatible with SLC 3.x) - OK

6. FEMM - Testing FEMM testing on Wine
FEMM needs to be installed via setup
A tar ball of $HOME/.xine solves the problem
FEMM needs a GUI although used as CLI
The use of XFree86-Xvfb solves the problem
