similar to: Upgrading Wine

Dont know if iys the done thing, but I contacted the writer of an app I maintain in AppDB, to point out that his app runs perfectly under Linux and Wine. Straught away he modified his webpage to include the fact, and a link to the AppDB page for his application. Cheers, Ron. -- I prefer the most unjust peace to the most righteous war.

I need to use an app that stopped working somewhere between 0.9.33 and 0.9.44 IIRC. Anyone know where I could download a Mandriva .rpm for 0.9.33 ? Seems no longer available at Sourceforge. Cheers, Ron. -- Windows VISTA : Viruses Infections Spyware

I have several Windows executable that do run under Wine, and that only install a number of files in a directory, and modify the registry so that the main GPS mapping app can find and use them. Is it worth making an AppDB entry for such progs ? Cheers, Ron. -- About the most originality that any writer can hope to achieve honestly is to steal with good judgment.

From a complete Wine newbie: I use Wine to run apps related with GPS receivers. I have upgraded from 0.9.33 which came with Mandriva 2007.1 Spring to 0.9.46 from WineHQ. Net result, the Garmin Mapsource app now loads and runs perfectly, which it did not do before. But GPSMapEdit, which worked before, no longer does. Question: is it possible to have to versions of Wine installed, and use one

Probably very simple, but I cannot find it: Is there a way to increase the size of the screen fonts used by Wine and apps running under Wine ? Cheers, Ron. -- Progress in physics is achieved by denying the obvious and accepting the impossible. -- Robert Heinlein

Hi all, First off - this is not flame bait or a troll. It's a genuine question. Since the forum gateway was introduced, it is my opinion that this list is getting flooded with newbie questions. Check the "I just installed Ubuntu" thread for a typical example. I wish to silently remove all wine-forum posts and their replies from my inbox. I plan to filter based on From:

Hello: Does anybody knows if Epi Info, from CDC (www.cdc.gov/epiinfo) runs on Wine? I did try AppDB first but there are no entries for Epi Info. Epi Info is a data base for epidemiology and public-heath developed by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (USA) and heavilly used in the world. It is based on Access 97 or 2000 witch I found in Frank's Corner AppDB. Thank you, Gerson

Hello, There is a new Wine help and discussion forum at http://www.wine-forum.org/index.php that is meant to be a meeting place for anyone interested in Wine usage or development. In the past there there has never been a single forum dedicated solely to Wine. The lack of a single forum has left people to post Wine related help and discussions in other forums.

Whenever I try typing anything into any application, all I get is one character and then I cannot add any more or even delete it unless I exit out. When I load it back up the same thing happens. This problem also persists within the Wine configuration, I can only change one number in the window size box. I have tried the riched20 winetrick and I have uninstalled the program and reinstalled it

Using wine 0.9.58 on Ubuntu 8.04 Like an idiot, I tried to install IE7 before doing the research to find that IE6 was more ideal with far fewer problems.

I understand that it is applied automatically when needed, but there are times when one would want to run it manually. An example is when I want to literally create a new wine prefix such as env WINEPREFIX="/home/bamm/apps/myprog" wineprefixcreate to prepare a clean profile for future installation of myprog. I know that running setup with a WINEPREFIX would create the clean profile,
