Does anyone have a cracked copy of Vedabase?
Ok! I realize that this could be a bit controversial. However, let me explain that I *own* a legit copy of Vedabase. I paid my $400 and have a copy in hand. However, it only works on Windows. I want to run it on Ubuntu Linux and need a cracked copy to do that.
Let me explain. Ubuntu has a program called WINE. This program allows you to install Windows programs on Linux. However, it will not install a legit, copy protected version of Vedabase (which is made only for Windows). I’ve heard, however, that it will install a cracked copy of it.
Could some fine devotee help me out? Feel free to email me: eric “at” littleblackstar “dot” com. It would be great appreciated.

More info on the whole Vedabase on Linux thing…
I had my legit copy of Vedabase running on a virtual machine running Windows XP. I had some kernel module problem and had to reinstall everything. I’m in the middle of moving right now and can’t find my copy of Vedabase. I can’t find my copy of the Bhaktivedanta Library CD-ROM either, I believe they’re hiding in the same place – wherever that is.
I found an older version of Vedabase that requires the weirdly-named Dongle for it to run correctly. Obviously, I can’t use that one with XP on a virtual machine on a laptop. Oh, and yes, I’ve bought Vedabase *twice*.
It would be lovely if the Bhaktivedanta Archives could come up with a means of making Vedabase cross-platform, so it could work on Windows, Mac and Linux (like, say, using PDF files or Word files or something), but that’s pretty freaking unlikely, isn’t it?
Help?
