Mine is from the CD-ROM that came with the 19th Edition, which I bought several years back, but opened the CD package last night. The files are dated from late August to September 2000. > What version of Wine are you running? $ wine --version wine-0.9.27 Wine exited with a successful status I am running Debian Sid (updated this afternoon) and the 0.9.28 version hasn't migrated yet. On this machine this is the first Windows software I've tried to install, so the Wine installation is clean. I did have some success by setting Wine to emulate Win98. The first portion installed fine and then some other program was installed (shareware I think--Active Beacon Wizard and GeoClock) and died in a similar manner. I just wiped ~/.wine and started over, this time not installing the shareware. Everything seems to have installed okay and the installer asked me to reboot to which I clicked OK ;-) and I got another page fault. I just did it again and told it not to reboot and got another page fault. It looks like I've installed the software relavent to the Antenna Book so the next step will be to see how it works. Many of the programs are for DOS, so I guess it'll be DosEMU time for them. :-) - Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds, the pessimist fears this is true." _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
