<< I've not had much luck getting Visual FoxPro running under wine >> No real problem with Wine 0.9. Vfp 9.0 runs out of the box. Unfortunately the WAIT WINDOW bug and the ToolTipText bug are not solved since 2003. I didn't try to install Vfp9 as I can access the installed copy on my windows fat32 partition. << DECLARE INTEGER ShellExecute IN shell32.dll ; INTEGER, STRING, STRING, STRING, STRING, INTEGER ShellExecute( 0, "open", "notepad.exe", "", "", 1 ) With no paths to shell32.dll. This is what works with Windows, and should also work with wine. >> This was my first try with wine20041019, too. The DECLARE statement raised an error (shell32.dll not found). So I tried referencing shell32.dll.so directly. Then the DECLARE statement succeeded but the actual call to ShellExecute() failed. Unfortunately I cannot check if it works in 0.9 because VMWare killed my X-Server when I tried to run my Knoppix installation within VMWare. Have to solve that first. :-((( Markus Winhard _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
