Yes, I know it's an ancient program. Problem is, I've bought an ancient textbook that has all its code in TB. Anyway, I can't get this to run. Tried DOSBox first, only to be told that the program requires win32. So I tried to run it in Wine, but got the infamous '...encountered a serious error...' dialog. Run in a fresh prefix, no Winetricks, dll overrides, configuration changes or anything else. wine-1.3.26 on Ubuntu 10.04. Full terminal output at http://pastebin.com/CPSigJsf Any suggestions gratefully received. Many thanks, David Shaw

As I said, it's a totally untouched prefix, so I guess the windows version would be XP - but I've just tried 95 and 3.1 and it makes no difference. David Shaw
