I will. I just created this log-file they mentioned in
http://www.graphpad.com/faq/viewfaq.cfm?faq=815 and will send it to
graphpad.
A few months back I asked them about Linux-versions or wine-howtos and they
answered, that no one at graphpad has ever used a linux machine, but if I
would get it to work in wine, they would release my how-to in their
FAQ. :-)
Perhaps I should try cross-over?
