wine users - Apr 2009 - Lifeform installed, only partial functionality

Lifeform is a 16-bit Windows based Health Management piece of software that I
have used for years. It will not install under Vista without doing something
insane like installing virtualpc and a full blown XP install. I did get it to
install under Wine, kinda. The creation of a program group and icons failed but
I was able to do that part manually.

Part of the application allows you to select a food item then an amount. The
drop down list full of food items appears, but the selection is not retained.

Really, really hard to describe. It there some setting I can enable for enhanced
logging. I figure it has to be throwing an error some where.

The application if you are so inclined:

The settings in my link
Name: Lifeform
Command: wine /home/ed/.wine/drive_c/LIFEFORM/LIFEFORM.EXE

Thanks for any and all assistance. I would really like to continue using this
app.

Win16 implementation through Wine is limited.  I will suggest that you
file a bug report for this program as well as create an entry in the
Applications Database for it.

I would feel like an idiot filling out a bug report after a whopping 10 minutes
experience with the program. I'll look into the Applications Database. I was
hoping someone would say 'put this command in that file'.
