True, but only if they can be satisfied by the configured repos or
others passed in the same command.

Thanx for the hints, I will try it shortly, as soon as work pressure
eases off..
Sorry not to reply earlier, forced to work in Microsoft land (via dual
boot) full time, so I don't get to look at my subscribed Linux newsgroups.

I wish I could get Protel98 schematic & PCB software to work properly
with wine, but it's a little buggy, with the screen rendition of rotated
text causing text to vanish, but the text is still click-able if you can
guess where it is.

I am guessing that it is a subtle Xwindows/Microsoft definition
difference problem such as the actual point that the text rotates around
(e.g. bottom-left or top-left).

Unfortunately, as my income is dependent on getting near faultless
reliability from Protel98, I hesitate to trust it to Linux/Wine until I
can work out the bugs & extinguish the stream of "fixme" messages.

Hi
Have you tried crossover? There is a free trial.

Yes. It would not run the Protel98 installer, which seems to be a little
different from normal Microsoft(tm) Windows(c) InstallShield(R).

I tried using crossover to install some other windows apps, and it did them
brilliantly, apparently handling "standard" software well, but offering
little opportunity for custom control.

Installation of Protel98 under wine is better, but there are fixme's &
writeme's during installation & runtime.

I am starting to think that complicated install procedures are really an
anti-piracy measure, particularly the use of system registry, which stops
one from simply copying a working installation. Hmmm.

Get a registry tracker, and find out exactly what registry entries get
made. Hopefully, no encrypted, machine specific key signatures get
stored there during the install, which would tie that install to that
machine, including unique registry entries. If none are unique, however,
it should be easy.
