[Wine] EZNEC

[Jon K Hellan]

I'm again trying to run the antenna analysis program EZNEC under Wine. I
wrote about this in October. At that time I got a run-time error. This
time, the program hangs during startup. On Windows, the program first
puts up a splash screen. Under Wine, I see a small rectangular outline -
too small for the splash screen - and nothing more happens. The linux
shell window output is:

I guess most of this is unimportant, but something is clearly wrong.

Any suggestions about how to find out why this won't run under Wine? Or
has anybody succeeded? Ideally, I'd like to approach the program
developer and encourage him to make it Wine compatible.

The program can be downloaded from "http://www.eznec.com/demoinfo.htm".

I've tried this on Debian unstable and Ubuntu Dapper, distro builds in
both cases. Same result. 

On the Ubuntu system, which runs Wine 0.9.9, I've set Windows version to
Windows 98, installed DCOM98 and a VB runtime (msvbvm60.dll - does that
look right?), and overridden ole32 with 'native'. The Debian system has
Wine 0.9.11, Windows version Windows 2000 and no library overrides.
