I have a shareware product that I sell that is windows only (due to the development system, it never will be ported to Mac or Linux). I have been testing it on WINE for about two years and now it almost works with latest version. I want to pass on some info to the makers of the compiler (so mine and other apps will run under wine). One problem I have is that the CHM Help system does not work on Wine (works on Win 98/ME/2000/XP/Vista). Is this a normal Wine problem (I know old style Help files .HLP load)? Thanks for any pointers/info you can give me. Cheers, Stan

Can you be more specific about what's wrong? Can you post a link to your app so we can try it? Thanks, Dan
Hi Stan, maybe it helps to read the CHM from the Unix-side? http://sourceforge.net/projects/chmviewer/ Cheers herbs On Sat, 26 Apr 2008 22:32:51 -0500 "Stan" <wineforum-user at winehq.org> wrote:> I have a shareware product that I sell that is windows only (due to the development system, it never will be ported to Mac or Linux).

Winelib is not stable enough to be suitable for any real ports. If you look at such attempts in the past they all ended up in disaster for both users, who couldn't use newer Wine versions and vendors who ended up trying to support multiple incompatible Wine versions.
