Hello,
The network administrators for the school I work for have recent left
and also left the network in a rather large mess. There are files such
as pictures being stored in random folders on random computers all
around the network leaving valuable data vulnerable. I'm hoping to
move over from the older windows system to a new linux based thin
client configuration with ltsp. So far I am using SUSE 9.1 to test and
everything runs great as far as this is concerned.
The problem runs in that the school requires a certain piece of
software that they use to manage their business processes (attendance,
billing, etc). I've been playing with WINE and have come very close to
getting the system to work. The software has been running on a Windows
95 computer quite well and so I copied over the application directory
and then through a lot of trial and error I settled on what I believe
to be the right DLLs that were necessary from the Windows\System32
directory from one of our Windows 95 computers.
The native DLLs that I'm trying to use are: msvbvm60.dll,
oleaut32.dll, msvcrt20.dll, rpcrt4.dll, netapi.dll, netbios.dll,
oleaut32.dll, rpcrt4.dll, ole32.dll, netapi32.dll, msvcrt20.dll. The
wine version is 20040213 and was included with my distribution.
This is an error I get when running the notepad that is included with
wine. Notepad will start and seems to run perfectly though.
This is what I get from having all of the above files in the folder:
suse:~/.wine/fake_windows/ProCare # wine PRO32.exe
Could not stat /media/floppy (No such file or directory), ignoring drive A:
Could not stat /media/cdrom (No such file or directory), ignoring drive M:

suse:~/.wine/fake_windows/ProCare #
If I remove the netapi.dll, the netbios.dll, and the netapi32.dll
files I will get this:
suse:~/.wine/fake_windows/ProCare # rm NET
NETAPI.DLL NETAPI32.DLL NETBIOS.DLL
