I couldn't see anything that suggested it did in a 10-minute parse of the website, but then I couldn't find anything that said it didn't either! If it doesn't, it wouldn't make a very good platform for a term! But I suppose you could do auth+fs+drawterm instead. (BTW: you should already be able to do the above using VMware, but you would need lots of physical memory, and the performance might not be very exciting!) Martin PS Hello Leo! :-) -- Martin C.
