Hi Chuck,
I've renamed this thread, and expect it to die quickly. I have a bunch of
things running on my Linux system, so I see a lot of interactions that probably
don't happen to others. One thing is that Timelab doesn't like to come up
properly under Wine. For some reason, it mostly comes up with the chart/plot
covering the whole frame, rather than having the legends at the bottom and at
the right.
The biggest impact to me is that it doesn't play well with MPLABX. But, I've
seen other problems related to MPLABX, so suspect that the problem lies there.
Finally, I've noticed some interaction between Timelab and VirtualBox. I was
running a Windows XP client, and the client got destroyed. That's never
happened before. OTOH, I was trying to use a clone 82357B from the boxed
client, so that may have somehow bled into Timelab. I dunno. Of course, it
could have just been a random failure that appears to correlate with Timelab.
Note that I'm not shaking a finger at John. Wine is essentially the wild west
at times, and this is one of those times.

Really? How so?
Wine tends to be a bit more pedantic than windows itself, but
most things, that don't go out of their way to break Wine, seem
to work... even a few viruses.
When I tried timelab, on Wine, it seemed to work ok for me.
Lady Heather also works nicely on Wine.
