HUGE .... WINE runs a very complex testing proggy

Post by woodsmoke »

Hi
I'm not going to give the name of the proggy, because there may be Microsith trolls around, If someone wants the name please pm me.

I've tried to run this VERY complex test generation proggy under Codeweavers Premium paid, using Xan.... 4.0 absolutely no go...not even an attempt, just balked.

I tried it also under PCLinuxOS using Codeweavers and WINE and samo samo...

I'm now running Klikit using WINE and the proggy installed and ran without a whimper.

This is a very complex proggy, uses a variety of stuff to function. it produces any kind of test possible and uses a provided test bank on a DVD also. It imports pictures, It exports as a rtf and a variety of other formats that are used in education.

The only "odd" thing that the proggy does is when I make a multiple choice question and "tic" an answer box like "c" the box is "blacked"....not "blaNked" out....but blacked out...however the question then appears as I made it on the exam.

Findamentally it's a very complex database, but still, it wouldn't run before.

sooooo....... good on...WINE folks!!!!

No one will be able to help you if you don't state what a problem is, and how
it can be reproduce. In other words, you *need* to publish here *at least*
name of Windows program you trying to run, what problems you experience with
it, your version of WINE.
because there may be
Microsith trolls around, If someone wants the name please pm me.
Well, any trolls here will get a warning and their post will be deleted and
if they try to troll again - they will be banned. Trolling is always bad
thing...
However, so far as I know there is no active trolls on this forum so I really
don't understand why you afraid of them here.

Please try it with latest WINE. Crossover not only isn't officially supported
here but even worse - it is always based on deprecated WINE version. This
means there is always chances that your program will work with newest WINE
better than with latest Crossover. If still doesn't work, please state what
program you trying to run, and what the problem is.
Thank you.

Well, it seems that I misunderstood this post a little (because I didn't read
it fully actually at first time).

I wrote:
Someone wrote me privately:
You didn't read to the end of the post - it was a success story, it
works perfectly in the latest Wine :-)
You right, I didn't...
Well, at least my statement about trolling is still valid - users are
free to post and discuss everything they want without afraiding
trolls.
But anyway, I would like to hear the name of the program in question
even in success stories, just out of curiosity.
So, sorry for some misunderstanding. However, I'm still curious about what
program you are talked about...
