On 32 bit Ubuntu 10.04 - which is what I use for my 32 bit Linux version of QStripper: sudo apt-get install wine Type your own password, if prompted. You will be prompted to confirm the "extras" to be downloaded. Type Y and press enter. After a while, it will complete and Wine will be installed. You may have to agree to a Microsoft licence for some fonts that they supply, as part of the installation. Copy your Qpc files to a new folder in your home directory, I'm assuming /home/yourname/qpc. At the command line, run the command: wine ~/qpc/qpc2.exe & (The ~ is short for /home/yourname and the & means run it in batch, freeing up your terminal session. After a quick configuration of the ~/.wine directory, you will be shown the first dialogue for Qpc where you can choose devices and so on.

Re: [Ql-Users] qpc2/linux
The attraction of Linux for many, Tony, is getting away from Windows; we are just users and any command line actions have to be done meticulously from instruction as we have no everyday need of it and so have no familiarity with the syntax. Word processor, spreadsheet, pictures, scanning, fax and internet are my simple main requirements; the QL lets me do some simple Basic programing. I hope to get Ql emulated on my awaited R-pi, but I must rely on all you experts to get it sorted for me. (and much thanks to all those on to it).

Arnold, > I have got as far installing wine, but the bit about agreeing with the Micrsoft conditions I click on 'ok' and nothing happens. What you have to do is use the down arrow to get to the bottom of the agreement. Then the OK button is enabled. Then you can press TAB to make sure the highlight is over it, then press ENTER to activate it. It's a ploy by MS to make you pretend to have read the agreement before you simply click OK!

I once read as far as I could, but the language is designed to irritate and confuse people so the nasties, I suspect, are buried in the text about half way down. I used to have to write reports at work, these were "urgent" and "necessary". I'd put a bit of text in saying "are you still reading? Claim your free £5.00 note from Norman".

Re: [Ql-Users] qpc2/linux
Arnold, Linux is case sensitive. If you created a folder called QPC in your home folder then try wine ~/QPC/qpc2.exe Which assumes that the above is the correct spelling. You can check in your file manager for the correct folder and filenames, or: cd ~ ls If QPC shows up: ls QPC where "ls" in the above is a lower case ell and an ess. You should now have the full path to the exe file, so, substitute as appropriate into the wine command above. Cheers, Norm.

I copied QPC2 from windows folder onto a usb flash drive, then, using the usb drive copied QPC2 into a folder marked QPC2 in 'home' on the ubuntu machine. The command to run is /home/qpc2/qpc2.exe A misplaced '/'. The first '/' tells the system to start at the root, and the remaining '/'s are directory separators (just like the windows '\'). Mind you it is hard to figure what you originally did - I bet there are some mistypes above (8-)# You can also 'cd /home/qpc2' (and ENTER) and type "./qpc2" (and ENTER). Type "$PATH" and ENTER - this will give a list of default directories. If you copy qpc2 to one of those, then all you need to type is 'qpc2' from anywhere. Some default directories may need root access. BTW you need to configure your mailer for in-line quoting with the '>' character. As time goes by your emails (with replies) are becoming more and more unreadable. I have edited this one to the way it should have been (possibly)!
