Thanks for trying that out, Rich! Sounds like a partial success. I
don't know if I actually have any Linux users but it's nice that the
Wine folks make that at least feasible since Microsoft got me locked
into MFC. If I had it to do over again I would use one of the several
cross-platform toolkits that are available but I began developing this
codebase about 15 years ago before there was such a thing!

Roger that. I'll poke at it some more this weekend. It's too damned hot
to do much outside, so I'll grab the new openSUSE release and the latest
stable Wine and give it all a spin.

Aaannnd... the check's in the mail (really!) for the ScopeIIR license.

Finally got around to upgrading the install to openSUSE 11.3 and Wine
1.2 (though the distro has RC 6 vice the final 1.2 release). All of the
examples work under that environment, now. Also fiddled around with a
few ad hoc designs and didn't hit any glitches. It all Just Worked.

Did notice a buglette on line 57 of iir_test.c, though. Should be
inpfname vice inpfile.

Thanks for the additional info, Rich. ScopeIIR doesn't use any of the
fancier features of the Windows API so that's the sort of result I was
hoping for. I guess it's all up to the Wine folks. (Hopefully, they'll
never support the MS Office "ribbon" interface. ;-)

Sharp eye - thanks! I'll definitely fold that fix into the next build
of ScopeIIR!
