Hi Dunc,

I think you're using Wine in an incorrect way.  You
need to use REAL DLLs ... not the Wine DLL
equivalents.  You should read up on Wine a bit more
regarding how it is configured:
http://www.winehq.com/site/docs/wine-user/config-wine-main

Also, you should see if your apps are listed in the
database.  If they are, you can see what people did to
get them working, or if they had no luck making them
work:
http://appdb.winehq.org
  

While I do have licensed copies of just about all versions of Windows I see this in the Wine documentation that you pointed me to:  "A major goal of Wine is to allow users to run Windows programs without having to install Windows on their machine. Wine implements the functionality of the main DLLs usually provided with Windows. Therefore, once Wine is finished, you will not need to have Windows installed to use Wine."

That being said / read I was able to get my first application (Cadkit or Ckpp.exe) running by copying the real Windows 2K ddeml.dll into the system directory.  The other application (KOPS.exe) still isn't co-operating with Wine, nor is it complaining about any specific file that I can copy into my Wine directory to help make things better.  It's still saying:  "fixme:actctx:CreateActCtxW stub", followed by a whole mess of "err:heap:HEAP_GetPtr Invalid heap (nil)!" messages.  Does anyone know what Wine is trying to tell me and how I might go about overcoming the problem?  Thanks,

Dunc
