Hi All,

I have installed Wine 1 on Gentoo under OpenVZ, and have winecgf appearing
nicely on my desktop.

I have an old notes 4.5 server which is still doing what I want, hosted until
recently under Win2K. I thought I'd virtualise it and turn off the hardware
for good.

I have long since lost/binned the install disks, so I built a squeaky new Win2K
installtion and applied SP4. I copied the notes directory across, and then the
notes.ini file into \winnt.

It wouldn't start, so I added Netbeui to the supported protocols and up she
came straight away.

I bzipped up the win2k directory, notes directory and ini file and installed
this under wine.

I added paths to the win2k directory and win2k/system32 directory *after* the
wine dirs in system.reg and tried to start notes (nserver.exe) by navigating
into the notes home directory and typing 'wine nserver.exe'.

After a while, a 'DOS' window comes up on my desktop, as it does under
Win2K


Code:
Lotus Domino r Server, Release 4.5a (Intl), 20 December 1996

That's as far as it gets. I started nserver as follows:-

Code:
paul at grunt ~/.wine/drive_d/notes $ wine nserver.exe
fixme:win:GetWindowPlacement not supported on other process window 0x10024
fixme:netbios:Netbios NCBADDNAME: stub, returning success


Under Win2K, this is what I get and I can connect and use the server from my
client...
