wine users - Jul 2008 - Re: Printing /MYOB

It's whatever was current release during March.  I have no way of doing
regression tests, nor determining which broke what.  IMHO the kernel is a
suspect too, and March was a lot of upgrades ago for F8.  The target system
(F8KDE) gets used for MYOB about once a week and printing invoices about once a
month, it took awhile before we discovered the system was really broken, we had
initially thought it was a settings error.  It was when I tried installing MYOB
onto the systems using F8(gnome) that I realized the problem may be more than a
setting issue.  I don't understand enough about Linux to perform regression
errors using those code(s), it's beyond my skill-level.  I'm just a
Linux user who became extremely tired of Windows.  Since we don't have a
need for networking MYOB, I'm thinking of switching to the free version of
Quasar, just hesitant over all the data that would have to be re-entered.  It
would be so much simpler if Wine would start working again.

Thanks yonnie

I had thought it must have been a while ago, and had started regression 
testing at 0.9.33 or so.  That's about 18 months back. I'll bring my 
testing forward to 0.9.53 as the"good" version - that's 5 months
back,
and see if I can do any better.
Interestingly, I had reached  0.9.37 and MYOB runs much the same, and 
still has the invoice printing problem.

I'll come back if I can find anything useful.

I'm actually tempted to shift the whole lot to gnucash, but don't have 
enough accounting knowledge to be confident I worked out all the tax 
implications
