    So when I upgrade my linux distribution, I might do the test
    again...

    Congratulations.

    It runs perfectly well under Win98SE or XP, in VirtualBox.

    Yes, for me too...

    I consider Wine a retrograde step

    If it worked it would be a simpler solution than installing a full virtual windows (which needs a license).

    but I guess that's because I toyed with it & discarded it nearly a
    decade ago.

    You would think wine has improved somewhat since then. ;)

    I understand why you're doing it. Full marks to you for trying. :)

    Thanks. ;)

    Wilfred.

    Hi All,

    Just an FYI. I tried, as a test, running FConfigW32.exe under
    wine-1.8.6. It didn't crash, but it doesn't look ok. Not
    everything is visible, what should be, and I had the impression
    not every key responds as it should. So this isn't really
    workable.

    I may have asked you this, but what language and compiler are you using to develop FMail with?

    Language: C
    The compiler used to be Borland C(++). 6 Was the last version I used. But I switched to the Code::Blocks ide, so I can use it both on Windows and Linux. On
    Windows it uses the Mingw compiler, on Linux the default gcc compiler.

    Bye, Wilfred.
