Now that 'winetricks dotnet11' can run one simple

after you install .net 1.1 using a fresh copy of winetricks?
And another question: what runs on Wine with a genuine MS .NET 1.1
that doesn't work on Wine with Mono?
(And I realise any such discrepancy would likely be a Mono bug rather
than a Wine bug.)
Trying to get Mono to work with Wine is a massive headache for some of
us. The program I mentioned uses the Jet engine to talk to an Access
like database structure. It requires the use of libgda, which does not
exist for the Mac and is a real pain to create for Windows. With the
inclusion of .NET 1.1 with Wine, I don't have to use libgda at all, as
Jet 4.0 installs without a problem.
