I've tried to get Turbo Lister to work with wine for some time now. It
seems to be close but...
As far as I can tell, the problem with TL is actually with the database
it uses, Microsoft MDB. If the wine developers could get the Microsoft
Data Access (MDA) tools working (and the BDE maybe? :) I think a lot of
other non-functional apps would just start working.

Thanks,
Rick Knight
