WINE

GCK2.5.9 works with wine (crossover office 2.01 version). The 2.5.9 update doesn't show the "Could not start the application because there is not enough memory" error. GCK starts up without any trouble and is partially usable. In fact it seems to be fully functional (including Deluxe import) with one big exception: new files cannot be created (quits upon selecting "File - New". The empty window box where you can select what type of GCK file you want to create (sequence, illustration, etc) is drawn with the title "New Window", but its not filled with content and the application quits.

The new window that fails to be displayed, contains (when run natievly under W2K) the following text (and radio buttons for the four different file types):

Select File Type
Contruct (Ctrl-C)
Illustration (Ctrl-I)
List (Ctrl-L)
Gel (Ctrl-G)
New File Name
OK
Cancel

The text associated with the different radio buttons appears first in the debug file in the following lines (as determined by the command "grep -n "List" all_output > List_output", etc):

After working with GCK2.5 under wine I have identified more bugs that make the program quit unexpectedly. However, now I have not been using cross-over office (as its evaluation period has expired and of course my boss wouldn't spend a cent for Linux programs). So I am using the default installation of wine that comes with Suse 9. I copied over the fake windows directory from the former .cxoffice directory. The following bugs do exist (they always appear when a window opens that requires you to enter alphanumeric values via the keyboard):
