Greetings Keith and all, I've taken on the personal task of attempting to get Legacy Deluxe v6.0 to run under Wine 0.9 via the Crossover Office tool under Fedora Core 4 Linux.
I have so far been successful in getting it to install and come up when first invoked. I installed it in a Win98 bottle (Wine terminology) and also installed IE6 and dcom95, which are pretty much required for the Legacy install to run (IE6 installs lots of dll's in the win98 bottle which aid windows apps to run under Wine). On a very cursory level, it runs fine, but I need to do some exhaustive tests and also debug some issues with the research tab (Anything I attempt to do in the research tab causes a hang). I should be able to focus in the coming week and provide some more useful feedback to the group. I apologize for not getting to this sooner, but events the past few weeks got in the way, the most positive being that we got DSL at our home and I had to deal with networking and security and setting up a spot in my house to work from home as needed. However, don't wait for me :) - feel free to install Wine on your Linux machine and then attempt to do an install and run of Legacy. Multiple troubleshooters are better than one and I am merely a strongly interested user with some computer background that can spend some of my spare time playing with it. This is my first attempt at getting any windows application to run under Wine, so I stumble a lot, but my heart is in the right place :) . john > Anyone out there been using or trying to use a copy of > the Legacy to work with Linux??
