*disclaimer* this how to is not geek-proof. Try at your own risk, I managed to f*ck up my PC several times doing this. Persistent as I am, I did not give up. Result: I have DHE running in WIne, alongside reaper. cons: DHE does a bad screen redraw. So you mightr do things, which are not shown until you maximize-minimaze the window. Plus: wine programs start up veeeeerrrry slow now. If someone has a fix for those problems, we're done! Here's the howto: *disclaimer* this how to is not geek-proof. Try at your own risk, I managed to f*ck up my PC several times doing this. Persistent as I am, I did not give up. Download and install winetricks at http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks Clicking this link you see a script. (CNTRL-A, CONTRL-C) select and Copy the content Right click on your ubuntu desktop make a new file and call it winetricks paste the content to that new file rightclick the file go to ?properties? make sure at the ?rights? tab the ?execute? box is checked then doubleclick the file winetricks choose ?run in a terminal? or just ?run? there you see a bunch of packages you can install choose dcom98 click ?ok? Now DHE editor should work it will start up verrrrrrryyyyy slooowwwww so be patient plus, the screen redraws of DHE are sometimes not done, so if you want to see the result of your action, maximize-minimize the window. If anyone has a better idea on how to do this, or can offer a fix for the aformentioned mishaps, please contact me. thanks.
