Bug comments restored from Gmane.org: 
 
Upon upgrading from 20020605 to 20020710, whenever I try to use ORcad Capture (a 
part of the PSpice Lite software), I get window popup with a tilebar of DSM0006 
and an error message unable to save <the file I was trying to create> and on the 
next line, "system error".  What's interesting is the file does get created, but 
the program refuses to register that it exists (still prompts me to save unsaved 
stuff.  If you need more detailed information, please e-mail back.  Thankyou

This is a regression bug from your description. As bugs go this is easy to find 
and fix using regression testing as outlined in the following link: 
 
http://www.winehq.org/Docs/wine-devel/cvs-regression.shtml 
 
If there is a downloadable version of this program then it is possible for 
someone else to do the regression testing. If there isn't then it is up to you.

There is no download for this program, however there is a for to fill out to get 
the lite version on cd mailed to you for free.  This is the version I used.  I 
have a relatively old computer, so regression testing would be very very time 
consuming.  However below is the url to the form to get a copy of the cd for 
anyone willing to help.

Out of curiosity how old is your computer? I do regression testing all the time 
on mine. 
 
P233 with 96 mb RAM and 40GB hardDrive. I did regression testing with a 3GB 
harddrive and 32 mb ram using the same computer. 
 
Yes it is time consuming but you can use your computer while it is doing a 
compile. With the timeframe you are talking about it should take at most 6 
itinerations to narrow it down to the day the patch was applied.

I've got a 233 with 64 megs of ram.  THe CPU is ok for compiling in the 
background.  THe memory is a big problem, as is my only 16 GB of storage space 
(of which, 800 MB is currently free.  I do video recording with real time 
compression on my computer, so I need all the CPU power I can get.  Also, with 
mozilla taking up 30 MB of memory, openoffice another 20MB, memory gets a bit 
tight on this college workhorse.  I've got summer school finals coming up right 
now so I can't do much of my own testing. Upgrading from Debian potato to Debian 
Woody is my next project.  My main constraint though is the disk space.

OK, I sent away for the cd and will do the testing when it gets here. They say 
about 2 weeks or less. 
 
 
 
Ok Thanks alot.  I've just upgraded to woody, and I've run into some 
pressing problems that require immediate attention.  But I'll be glad to 
tell you the steps I use to determine if the software works if you like.

I was able to install Capture, Layout and PSpice with the following setup 
 
wine snapshot 20020605  
[Version] "windows" = "win98" (in .wine/config) 
actual windows installed win98 
 
I could not install this program using the current CVS so I should start another 
bug for that. Also I had trouble installing it useing other windows versions 
"NT40" and "win2k" sort of worked but gave me too many problems probably due to 
not actualy having nt40 or win2k dlls 
 
If you could give a step by step procedure to reproduce the bug I would 
appreciate it.

I have no idea on how to reproduce the error you described, Wine snapshot 
20020710

I recieved these instructions about a month ago but things got in the way. 
 
Once installed, however, you should create a new project by 
going file-new.  type in a project name, and select "Analog or Mixed A/D". 
The location needs to be specified, but can be anywhere you want the 
program to create it's data files for this project.  After hitting ok, 
select "Create a blank Project".  At this point, it should  take you to a 
work space with a big white screen.  But on the newer versions of wine, it 
will bring up the error message before reaching this screen.
