Our company is trying to move over to ubuntu(still fairly new) and after two weeks of searching i have yet to find a contact manager with the functionality and flexibility of sidekick so we are trying to get it working in Ubuntu.  The program runs fine but then instantly crashes when i attempt to save a contact or a memo.  Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

You should actually start the program from the file it is installed to.  
And there should be no need to use the WINEPREFIX environment variable 
for pointing the the user's home directory, it is the default.

Something like the following:

[code]

cd $HOME/.wine/data-wrangler/.wine/drive_c/windows/users/Public/Start\ Menu
wine start "Sidekick 98.lnk"

[/code]

Might start the program.  Where is SideKick installed to?

(Note to Users Moderators:  This is a Windows98 program.)
