I'll see what I can do. But I can't go down a long road of resolving issues with Wine software that I don't have the time or test machines available at home to test. Our plan is to port the code to Mac/Linux rather than use an emulator. That way the Mac app looks like a Mac app, etc.

That registry key does not exist under wine, and attempts to manually create it result in an error message. If, in the upcoming revision, you could make it possible for the user who knows best to type in the port name, it would enable your utility to be tried out under wine. It may or may not work, but I don't personally see why there should be a problem. If it does work, it could actually be useful to someone running a version of Linux that is not compatible with the native updater. It's ironic, but sometimes it's easier to get Windows software working on Linux than to resolve all the dependencies needed by the native Linux version... ----- Julian, G4ILO K3 s/n: 222 K2 s/n: 392 G4ILO's Shack: www.g4ilo.com Zerobeat Ham Forums: www.zerobeat.net/smf -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/K3-Firmware-Updater-under-Linux---Wine-tp15117763p1512 2183.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
