wine users - Jul 2009 - Lotus 123 Release 4 for Windows

Hi,

I am new to Linux, Fedora 11, and Wine, V1.1.18, and am looking for a way to
eliminate going back to windows to run certain applications and Wine seems
"heaven sent".  I am using Wine V1.1.18 instead of Wine V1.1.23
because V1.1.23 causes my other Windows application to crash.  I managed to
install Lotus 123 Release 4 cleanly into wine.  Lotus 123 Release 4 is a 16-bit
application.  Fonts were installed via winetricks by selecting all fonts.

Lotus 123 Release 4 seems to startup cleanly, but has numerous operational
issues, some major and some minor.  I would like to concentrate on the simplest
test, startup, then shutdown with no work done.  That condition produces the
following command line errors:

fixme:ole:OleRegisterServer16 (123Worksheet,...): stub
fixme:ole:OleRegisterServerDoc16 (1,Untitled): stub
fixme:ole:OleRevokeServer16 1 - stub
fixme:font:WineEngRemoveFontResourceEx :stub

My gut feeling is that fixing the above issues will also fix some of the
operational issues.  Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Don

Wine missing lots of things for 16-bit apps.

Is there a reason you trying to run such an old application in the first place?
And not using one of the open source programs instead?

Hi,

I have already used winetricks to install the DCOM98,  OLE32, and OLEAUT32 dlls.
Unfortunately none of them had any effect.

I am not sure what else to try at this point.  Wine does not seem very
hospitable to 16-bit applications.  I am deeply appreciative of all the
volunteers who develop and maintain wine and think "you guys" are
doing a terrific job.  It is just not a fit for me right now.

Thanks for all your help.

Best regards.

Don
