I'm trying to determine if it's possible to use the help system of windows applications running under wine and what I might need to do before it works. I just started using wine again after a long hiatus. I only run one application under wine, xmlspy. I'd like to get its help system working under wine. If I select anything from the help menu nothing happens right now. Is it supported? UK

I have the same basic problem running Pegasus Mail with Wine. Though the appropriate dll clone exists (or at least the one that I've been told is the appropriate one) selecting help gives me nothing more than an empty help window except for the associated graphic and some menus and tabs though both the menus and the tabs are not the ones shown on a Win98 system. Stderr contains this line: fixme:winhelp:MACRO_JumpContext ("D:\Pegasus\4.12a\WINPM-32.HLP", "main", 1)semi -stub I hope someone out there has a better answer for us. -- Jim

Dunno about the old .hlp format though. Toby -- Signed/encrypted mail welcome. GPG/PGP Key-Id: 0x15C5C2EA

All the xmlspy help is chm format. gRANT
