Back before I retired from the tech industry (2015), I used Vagrant with VirtualBox on a Linux computer to run various operating systems as virtual machines, mostly for development and testing purposes (Vagrant basically simplifies using VMs, including but not limited to VirtualBox). Strictly, you need a license to run Windows 10 in a virtual machine, although if you don't connect to the internet it will probably work OK. Never actually tried it, though. IIRC, you can get free Vagrant boxes to run earlier versions of Windows, which might be an option as long as Fronimo doesn't have Windows 10 specific code.

In my experience Fronimo cannot work "directly" on a Linux platform using Wine. But an alternative way to make it work is to install in your Linux a Virtual Machine that let you run Windows: first thing to do is creating a Windows Virtual Machine. Second step is to install and run FRONIMO as normal. This is not a 100%"pure" Linux solution but it works well, printing procedures etc. included. Hope this can help. Gian Luca Lastraioli -------- Messaggio originale -------- Oggetto: [LUTE] Re: fronimo under wine? Da: Tristan von Neumann A: lute@cs.dartmouth.edu CC: I agree. I would buy Fronimo if it worked properly under Linux. I had trouble in the demo version. Printing to file didn't work (blank pages though the preview is visible. Is this deliberate?). That's sad because I have some fronimo files from the yahoo group I would have loved to print. Also I would love to contribute to Sarge's archive. On 10.08.20 17:54, Frank A.
