Hi, Question: although I have not tried it yet but when installing Windows-app on WINE, do you just run the .EXE file and everything will be taken care of?
BTW, I thought Ateneo's MS license came from Ritchie Lozada. hehehe... keeeeddddiiiinnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggg! --o000o-- Prof. Rommel Palma Feria, MSc, SCJP Health Informatics and Mobile & Wireless Computing Group Dept. of Computer Science, College of Engineering University of the Philippines, Quezon City 1101 Philippines TeleFax: +63-2-4343639 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------- Original Message: From: Pablo Manalastas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wed Aug 14 18:05:07 EST 2002 Subject: [plug] Wine and winword After several days of trial and error, I have now gotten wine to run winword.exe and all the other MS Office programs. The trick is to use "compatible" versions of Windows and MSOffice. Thus you need Windows 98 with Office 97, or Windows 2000 with Office 2000, or Windows XP with Office XP. During the trial and error period, I was using Windows 98 with Office 2000, and so I have been getting this dll "version" compatibility error. After correcting this, wine was able to run winword.exe smoothly -- I get the main word-processor in a Motif window, and the help mascot (the paper-clip thing) in another Motif window. As you worked on the word-processor, the xterm where you started wine keeps spewing diagnostic and error messages. All the features seem to work fine, except file-save. Well, wine-20020804 is very much alpha software, so we must all wait until it becomes stable enough to be usable. Happy linuxing! PMana P.S. Don't ask where I get my Windows/Office software. All I know is that my school, Ateneo de Manila, has paid Microsoft Philippines a huge amount for the Ateneo site license to cover the hundreds/thousands of copies in use at school. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
