AR (5.12 at least) works well under Crossover Office by Codeweavers.  I
believe someone else recently got it to work under a regular WINE build
as well (he had problems adding students in the management module... I
didn't have problems via Crossover Office 4.1).  There are some tweaks
you need to do to the wine config in order to make the fonts render
properly (there is a problem w/ anti-aliasing and how the text inverts
from black on white to white on black when you select
students/books/et), quick fix though.
 
Just search the list for crossover office and Accelerated Reader... it
should show up. =)

	Ann,
	
	Are you running AR in a MAC or PC environment? I am exploring
W.I.N.E.
	to see what existing apps will run from our PC environment. I
was
	planning to test AR next week to see if it will run. Would be
happy to
	let you know what I find out.

on
	solving this problem.
