I use Wine to run Pegasus Mail (PM) v4.31 on my SuSE 9.3 distribution of Linux. It looks like some fine progress has been made in the development of Wine during the past couple of months but I have not been able to take advantage of it. The last version of Wine that I have been able to make work reasonably well in support of PM is 0.9.8. Wine 0.9.9 and Wine 0.9.10 both sent a signal to PM to terminate when it closed a new message composition window. I cannot determine whether this has been solved in Wine 0.9.11 or Wine 0.9.12 due to other developments mentioned below. What I *have* determined is that starting with Wine 0.9.10 there is a new child process running "explorer.exe /desktop". This process did not exist in any of the versions I have checked prior to Wine 0.9.10 and I don't know what it is supposed to accomplish. Starting with Wine 0.9.11 PM appears to be running in the background as I am unable to see it on the screen but by watching a process list I can see the level of activity that I would expect during startup. It also does not appear on the task list. I *do* find it on process lists. This brings me to one of two other observations regarding Wine 0.9.12. The Wine client processes no longer show "wine-preloader" as the command but rather the name of the .exe file that is being run. That is probably a good change. The other observation regarding Wine 0.9.12 is that without any notice (at least none that I've seen) the output generated by "wine --version" now goes to stdout instead of stderr which is where it used to go. I think that is a good move though it would have been nice if it had been noted in release documentation. Does anyone have any insight as to how to get this application to display on the screen? Until this is resolved I'm stuck with using Wine 0.9.8. -- Jim _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
