wine users - May 2009 - Help requested for Aeris Dive Computer interface

Hi,

I'm attempting to run the Aeris Dive Computer interface (ACI V2.x) using
WINE under Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jakalope release on an ASUS 1000HE netbook.

However, it doesn't seem to be working very well.

the install process seemed to work fine. It successfully created an icon under
the WINE application for the interface.

On startup of ACI, it says that it cannot read the previous dive log (which is
normal on a fresh install).  It then allows me to create a new log (the file is
successfully created in C:\Program Files\AERIS\Aeris Computer Interface
2.x\Logs, but then the process immediately complains that it cannot read the
file and terminates.

I've run it under the terminal window and I found the following messages:

any thoughts or ideas as to what I can try to get this to work?  I'd really
like to get this to work so that I can use this netbook as a lightweight
computer when I'm travelling so that I can download the logs off the dive
computer.

thanks so much!

Does this product use special drivers to access the Dive Computer?

The errors you refer to are caused by picture manipulation and Wine's
limited abilities to do so.  This should not be related to a program's
ability to save log files, if they are plain text.

What version of wine?

Wow, I wasn't expecting people to reply so quickly - thanks!

The log files are not plain text, I believe they use an underlying database
mechanism, although it will take me some research to find out just what it does
use.

As for the version of Wine, I don't have the machine immediately handy to
me, so I'll check that later this afternoon and post when I have the info.

thanks again!
