I take it the linux G@H data files are different from the Windows ones. I am trying to monitor G@H on my linux box from my Win2000 machine and the monitor programs I am using have gone all screwy!

yes they are. go get yourself the linux ones :) The config files are the same and the output files MIGHT be the same

It's real simple. Uncompress the files to /usr/local/ghclient_linux/ and set the permissions so that they are read and writable by everyone

I set /ghclient098_linux/ to be public in my Samba setup so I can see the files from my Win2000 Box. I can view them so I have read access. I don't have write access turned on though.
Maybe the data files are just different? I will check my permissions to see if that could effect anything.
Electron Microscope and G@H File Monitor don't seem to know what to make of the linux files.

Your problem will be the fact that DOS files use CR/LF (carriage return/line feed pairs) at the end of each line. Linux only used Line feeds.......

I don't quite get what your trying to do.... Are you trying to keep all the G@H files on the linux box and access them from Windows? Or are you trying to run the client on the linux box? Or are you "transfering" an old WU to the linux box? I'm not quite sure on setting up Smaba, that'll be my next ask dnar :D

Dang, its too early in the morning....... You are trying to MONITOR your linux wus! i got it now! I wonder if there are any linux monitoring progs? if there are, you cn leave it running on the linux box, and use VNC to occassionaly check on it. i do that with my 450 nd my 560mhz puters, ecpt they are runnin' windows 98 and i'm runnin linux (or win98 if I just got done playing starcraft, diablo, FF7, or some other non linux game)

If you want to monitor the progress of G@H on your linux box from your windows machine you can do it with FileMonitor from Team EggRoll http://www.teameggroll.org/addons.php

Do you have samba or whatever that nifty file sharing thing is running? Did you try to set your monitor to monitor that file? I don't see why the input.??? file would be any different other than in linux it won't have an extension on the end, and what dnar said about how its formatted. If the software was written well, it should handle linux files too
