To be honest, YWriter runs so well in Wine I've never thought of asking. Also, I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking in Wine also. DNS is quirky now, runs best in Notepad, but I look forward to the day when it runs in YWriter on Wine. Another thing... and this I'm not sure about. He writes his programs using Visual Basic. How convertible would the code be? BTW -- Another good program that runs well in Wine and is useful for writers, researchers and other note-gatherers is KeyNote. It's on Sourceforge. It was written in Delphi and so, although the code is open, it will never run on Linux without a complete re-write. -----Original Message----- >From: Paul Johnson <baloo@xxxxxxxxx> >Sent: Mar 17, 2008 7:41 PM >To: wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx >Subject: Re: Wine with writeitnow > >-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >Hash: SHA1 > >On Monday 17 March 2008 04:03:32 pm Susan Cragin wrote: >> I just wanted to state that I use YWriter with WINE and it seems to run >> well.
