I'm trying to run a production-quality database app based upon 
VFP (not sure what version---probably 6) and am also having 
problems, but not with fonts---I get an unhandled exception:

localhost# wine --debugmsg +relay,+seh sw.exe
shows (among other things):

Unhandled exception: page fault on write access to 0x0000044a in 
32-bit code (0x40fff7a3).

This is actually output from Codeweavers' CrossOver version of 
wine, but when I do the same for Wine-20030115 (and the previous 
version), I get very similar output.

Anyone here know if the issues that Rick and Paul mentioned above 
would rule out using this database app under wine in a 
business/production environment?  Specifically, I'm concerned 
about problems with record locking.  This app needs to be run by 
several different users on several different computers 
simultaneously (which is no problem in native windoze, but what 
about wine).  The reason I ask (aside from the obvious) is that 
I'm considering paying Codeweavers to fix the bug that's causing 
the unhandled exception above, but if the issues that Rick and 
Paul mentioned would prevent using the app in a business 
environment as described, then I might be wasting my money by 
just fixing this one little problem---only to find that the 
other already known issues with VFP would prevent me being able 
to do what I need to do.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Joe
