<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Hi all,<br><br>I'm Cissi from Sweden, I've just recently gone from Win 2000/XP to Linux (Xubuntu) and I love it! Will never go back!<br><br>My computer is quite special as it has a very tiny internal hard drive, only 10 GB. That causes some problems... I must really keep the installed programs at a minimum, recently I got lots of problems with that. To make it short - I had to go on a trip very urgently, I left my computer running with web browser open. When I came back four days later, my internal hard drive was at 100%. That caused me some trouble, I reinstalled Xubuntu and now it is much better. (I might add that I was visiting my mom to install Xubuntu on her system during those four days).<br><br>Anyway - right now I don't have Wine installed. Will install it soon again. I really want to keep the Wine-folder as small as possible considering my tiny hard
drive. <br><br>I just love Linux and (X)ubuntu but there is one program that I can simply not live without and that only runs in Windows. So - I would love to get some help to get it to run in Xubuntu through Wine. I've used Winetricks (before reinstalling Xubuntu yesterday) and I assume that I will have to use it again. <br><br>I have three choices regarding this program, I know the developer very well and he is assisting me in every way he can. He has even installed Xubuntu on one of his computers but as far as I know he has not tried Wine or the program I want to use yet. <br><br>The program I want to use is Tesio Power. It is genealogy software for horses, there is a few other programs on the market but none is as good as Tesio. I have used it for 10 years or so. Web site: <a href="http://www.tesiopower.com/">http://www.tesiopower.com/</a><br><br>I have an old version (that I have used with great joy until I changed to Xubuntu) called Tesio Power
2000 on a CD. That edition is about 10 years old, runs on old Win-versions up to XP but not Vista. Something like MS Access I think, my database is a .mdb-file.<br><br>I have also downloaded two demo-versions that I can use if I don't get the old TP2000 to work, these are the Thoroughbred editions of TesioPower 8 and Tesio Express. If I use these, I can not use my old database, I have to rebuild it (100.000 horses) but I am willing to do that - the important thing is that I can use the software.<br><br>As I understand it, the newer editions (TP8 and TesioExpress) use .NET which I am not that familiar with. <br><br>I really want this to work, I am very willing to put lots of time in this, but I must at the same time keep my tiny hard drive "healthy" (i.e. far from 100%). The developer of this program is very, very nice and I can get lots of support from him (he's been very helpful during the last 10 years). He is all new to Linux though and I can not
expect him to work a lot on getting these programs to work in Wine. He'll definitely answer any questions I have though. <br><br>This program is tiny and I doubt there is a market for a Linux-version, I am probably the only one that has tried it in Linux. Even though it is no 1 in it's field ;).<br><br>So, any suggestions?<br><br>Thanks a lot in advance!<br><br>Best wishes,<br>Cissi (in Sweden) <a href="http://www.sporthorse-data.com/">http://www.sporthorse-data.com/</a><br><br><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><font color="#c00000"><strong>MVH/Our best regards <br><em>Cissi Nyblom & H�kan Pont�n</em> <br><br><u><font size="5"><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.ponyprod.com/">http://www.ponyprod.com</a></font></u></strong></font></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></td></tr></table><br>
