So... what .net 1.1 apps do people have?

[Dan Kegel]

Now that 'winetricks dotnet11' can run one simple
.net 1.1 app properly... what other apps are out there
that need .net 1.1? How well do they run with Wine
after you install .net 1.1 using a fresh copy of winetricks?

BiblePro from BibleOcean.com. Version 12.10.6

I'll see if I can get it to install and run this weekend.

And another question: what runs on Wine with a genuine MS .NET 1.1
that doesn't work on Wine with Mono?

(And I realise any such discrepancy would likely be a Mono bug rather
than a Wine bug.)

Trying to get Mono to work with Wine is a massive headache for some of
us. The program I mentioned uses the Jet engine to talk to an Access
like database structure. It requires the use of libgda, which does not
exist for the Mac and is a real pain to create for Windows. With the
inclusion of .NET 1.1 with Wine, I don't have to use libgda at all, as
Jet 4.0 installs without a problem.
