Program cannot be run in DOS mode

[Dustin Navea]

I dont think (although I could be wrong) that programs compiled in vs6 
would have dependencies on .net, even if they were compiled on xp..  You 
said that you are able to get other programs to run, such as winzip and 
solitaire?  If that is the case, then what I said above more than likely 
_is_ wrong :-/ in which case not much can be done.  You could always try 
your hand at implementing the missing .net functions, but this may be a 
bigger task than it is worth.  The other option if you must get it going 
on linux is to port it to linux using winelib, although if it is 
dependent on .net that may not be possible either..

Anyone else have any comments on this?
