wine users - Dec 2008 - DDE error with using QBridge networking

Hi,

I have successfully installed Q-Bridge on Wine and got it work alright
for single user use, but I wanted to also be able to use its networking
facility.  This uses a separate Q-NET program with which the main
program exchanges network calls using DDE.  When I try and initiate the
networking service I get a DDE error.

I am new to WINE and wonder whether DDE issues are a common problem, or
whether this is peculiar to Q-Bridge.

Any advice would be welcome.
