I added ACT as an exception to the global list, and now I realized the
changes that I was making to the global didn't seem to be affecting the
ACT since wine was treating it specially.  So I made sure this time all
the changes I made were to the ACT settings for wine.

Ok, here is what happened.  When I set msvcrt to Native - or Native
Bulletin this is the results:

wine C/ACT/act.exe
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk "MSVCRT.dll" failed to initialize,
aborting
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for
L"Z:\\home\\shane\\C\\ACT\\act.exe" failed, status c0000142

It doesn't run at all!  I have to remove that from the library section
to even get it to open.  Sorry if I wasn't clear about that before.

I put WINEDEBUG=+loaddll into the terminal and then ran ACT!, and I
didn't see any different results in the terminal.  Sorry wine is a bit
out of my range of understanding.


Here is what happen when I tried Windows 2000 settings, followed by
Windows 98, and then Windows 95 in that order as seen below:

WINEDEBUG=+loaddll

It still seems to be hanging up on this msvcrt.dll .  Any ideas or
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks for the help!
