wine users - Nov 2005 - possible to import 'system DSN' ODBC data sources from existing windows installation into wine?

Hi

I have in an existing windows installation a large number of 'system DSN 
data sources' which I would like to have under wine.
Is it possible to import these? I know about the file DSN and that they 
are files in a directory, but that doesnt help.

The system DSN's are stored in the windows registry and can be exported 
using "regedit". Run regedit under windows and locate
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
-> SOFTWARE -> ODBC and right-click on the ODBC node to export its 
contents to a file. The result is a text file in a very similar format 
to the wine registry file and I believe it can be imported using the 
wine version of "regedit". Or you can just paste the contents into the
(text based) wine registry file whilst changing the headers to match the 
wine registry header's style.
