Central Station eXpress?  It's the software that lets you program Comfort
from a PC.  It doesn't do anything useful unless you have Comfort.

If you can download it from http://www.comfort.org.uk (I think you
can, not
sure though), and run it under Wine, that would be interesting to know, but
the problem with the last (very different) version was that it hiccuped
when trying to actually communicate with Comfort down the serial port (the
actual program interface worked well, reading and writing config files just
fine), but at that point (about a year ago) Wine's serial port handling
wasn't great- it's probably improved since then!

>have you considered vmware [yes, i know it's expensive]

Yes, I have considered it... if it comes to that though, I might as well
just buy a Win95 licence and install it on a spare partition (I wouldn't
run it very often), but I'm trying to avoid significant outlay for just one
program (it would be nice to have, but I'm currently surviving just fine
without it!).  Maybe I should just upgrade my existing Win3.1 partition :-)
