hi, i'm trying to get the application MICROWIN STEP 7 (version 3.1 SP2) from siemens to run. it's a tool which can program siemens simatic S7 through different devices, among others via serial port ppi cabel. the problem is this: the application installs fine, but when i try to install a software device interface (the interface to the serial port, for example), nothing happens. the application doesn't hang, it just doesn't add the device interface. i assume that the problem is the serial device access under wine. i've already added these lines to the configuration file in hope of solving the problem: [serialports] "Com1"="/dev/ttyS0" "Com2"="/dev/ttyS1" [ports] "read"="0x3F8-0x3FF" "write"="0x3F8-0x3FF" unfortunately, this still hasn't brought me anywhere. above lines should allow applications a direct read/write access to the port 0x3F8-0x3FF, right? if not, how would i allow a direct access to my serial devices? thanks for the help! matthias _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.com/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
