I beg to differ because when we were working on the project with the Codeweavers, on my system the globals would be adversely affected and new connections could not be made after trying to connect with CPRS running on a modified Crossover Office, so I would continue to warn those trying this to back up their globals if they are important to them. It may be that whatever was affected in the globals was very minor. I never even tried to chase down the problem so I don't know what it was, just that it happened, predictably.
As anyone knows that has been around this list for a few years, I am a strong proponent of getting CPRS running on Linux and have put a bit of time and effort into trying to get it to happen, but wishing it were so does not make it so. When patient care is involved, I recommend you stick to the Client on Windows. If you want to play around on a test system, more power to you.

[KSB] Nancy, it is entirely appropriate to warn folks to be prepared for the CPRS client running under wine on Linux to be less than fully functional and to crash. However, I don't see how it can be any more dangerous to the globals on the server than the same client running on Windows. I would expect the protocol between the client and server to be robust enough to handle crashes of the client (otherwise, the protocol can be considered fatally flawed, which I would assume it isn't). It is always good advice to back up the server often, and to run journaling. It is not necessarily meaningful to back it up more often just because you are running the CPRS client under wine. -- Bhaskar ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
