The only way that will work is to have a FAT partition in windows running 
the WinNT command line client.

Then, under linux run WINE which is a windows emulator. The WinNT version 
will run just fine under wine.

If you tried to make the .sah file avaialable to a Windows version and a 
linux version, the client will start from the beginning each time it 
determines the other was the last to use them.
