<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello, i'm working in software development company,
and we have a custom made software in VFP 6, as we're thinking on replacing all
our</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>win9x boxes to linux (since we got rid of those
hard-to-manage-and-prone-to-error nt boxes) since we mostly use this app for
everything, we</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>tried to run it in Linux using wine.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>i downloaded the latest wine release, the
codeweavers release and a CVS one, none of them seem to work and all displayed
this error</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><A
href="http://www.reconfig.net/~atax/error2.txt">http://www.reconfig.net/~atax/error2.txt</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So i went to the mailing list archives and found
that there had been some regressions in the wine code, and it advised to
run wine-20010510,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>after compiling and installing this release, it did
exit (wine) with the same error, not giving up, i played with the --winver
option, and found that</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>wine --winver win2000 app.exe, and wine --winver
nt40 app.exe both did run the app ok, some minor drawing errors, but everything
was ok;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>until i came to the part where printing was
needed and, i found that printing didn't work, after reading the wine users
documentation, i added the [ppd]</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> section but had no luck.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Then i joined #winehq in irc.openprojects.net,
i was asked to try my printing system with Abiword for windows, after installing
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Abiword with wine, and running it with --winver
win98, i found that indeed the printing system worked, as printing documents
from Abiword worked flawlessly</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>not so using Abiword with --winver win2000 (nt40),
whom in the printing dialog, did show a "dummy" driver for printing..., going
into the source i found out that</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the wineps.drv is only 16bit, and win2000/nt40
don't support win16 drivers.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>is there anyway that this app could run in --winver
win9x mode? can this "heap" errors be solved?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>this is my ~/.wine/config: <A
href="http://www.reconfig.net/~atax/config">http://www.reconfig.net/~atax/config</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and the errors with wine --winver win2000 app.exe :

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>any help will be really appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
