Hello! I have some questions about Wine and how/if it can be used with industrial communication like OPC (MicroSoft Com/DCom objects, DDE and more) My short question is: Can I use Wine to make OPC communication work with a Linux system. OPC "OLE for Process Control" A "general" standard for communication in industrial systems, that unfortunately is totally depending on Windows I work on a small company in Sweden who make industrial computers for the industry, and when we a few years ago had to choose operating system for our new model I got them to choose Linux. And almost everything is perfect, we have had a working product for almost a year now, and everything is good. But now our company needs to support OPC, this is a big problem that makes a lot of people in the company start saying things like WinCE or Win XP embedded. I am more in need to make/use same kind of OPC api for Linux then running a windows program. Although I could have a Win program running in Wine on the Linux machine talking with the main app on the same computer and talking OPC to other machines that need that. I hope Wine and/or you can help me in this case. It would be a tragedy if we had to switch operating system just because of this. /Rickard -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
