Fellow Winos: I am a nubee to Wine. I am using Ubuntu 8.10 with Wine from the repository, which is 1.01. I have a business program that is used to connect a windows PC to an AIX server in our office. So it is basically an emulator. the program is called Misys Tiger. I am able to install the program without difficulty, but it will not run. It goes to the initial splash screen, and then the program gives an error that it cannot start the server. I was able to give it the correct server information in the windows\system32\drivers\etc folder which I did by hand. So, being new to Wine, what is the best way to go about figuring out how to possibly run this? If I run in terminal it gives one fixme error about a character set. Any beginner help would be nice. I won't be able to get help from the company that makes the software.

Is the program available to download anywhere? Try upgrading to 1.1.16 as well. -- -Austin
OK, I can upgrade to the latest version of Wine, which I will try. Now, I am running with Ubuntu so I got it through the distros, but I will delete it, and then download the newest version. Unfortunately, the program in question is not available for anybody else to test. It comes with the office system, and is kept on the AIX server. It is downloaded via the LAN to my computers, which in this case is a linux laptop. Furthermore, in order to test whether the program will work, it needs to connect over the LAN to fire up. I will try this again tomorrow and post the terminal output.
