If they're anything like the catalogue CDs I've used, they rely on the presence of Internet Explorer. I've just checked, and although IE6 will run under wine (in the sense of a window appearing, with menus that will drop down,) it doesn't seem keen to do much. Also, as you don't have a Windows partition, I guess you'd need to install it. I have two nasty feelings about this.

I remember back in the dark old days when I existed on a mixture of DOS mainly with a little Doze 3.1, these exact same catalogue CDs ran then. That certainly didn't have this Explorer thing on it, so I suppose that I have to hunt for another reason for its failure. In any case, wouldn't Explorer be just for looking at .html pages? (Excuse ignorance on this - I've never used it!)
