Re: Wine 990103 and PowerPoint 97
Dear Udi (and others),
First, I would definetly recommend reading the wine's documentation and
FAQ. Lots of questions are answered there (and I know it helped me for
then dozen of times)
Second, it is preffered to use Windows 95/98 libraries rather than Windows
NT directory and libraries. With those libs, you got much better chance
that things will run.
Third, please take a look at the newsgroup: comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine
- many questions are answered there, as some tips and reports.
