[K12OSN] Kidspiration or Inspiration-like Linux software

[John P. Conlon]

I copied Inspiration into my usr file and then used a terminal window to 
wine install the thing.  Then I created an icon for the .exe file in the 
fake c and put it onmy task bar.  In the line where the path to the .exe 
file is put the word winein front of the path for example:
wine /home/username/c/programname.exe
If I typed anything wrong from memory I'm sure that my local guru will 
let us know what it was.
