Hi everybody, I have been asked to beta-test some MS-Windows applications under WINE. The idea is to make the applications Linux/WINE friendly. Using WINE is OK with me. I have some experience with it. But, in order to do a good testing, what should be my focus? how can I do it better? I want really to test the stuff througly so they can really say "it Works Well on Linux With WINE". Any advice will be very welcome.

Well, codeweavers probably will do that job for you if you pay them. If you want to do that yourself, you should make sure that you tested all pathes that your program takes...

in a word "printing". seems to be one of the weak points.
