Does anybody know the basic problem with Microsoft Publisher '97 not working with wine? I'm willing to debug it a bit, but I want to find out how big of a project it is first. Or maybe somebody else is working on this already?
Publisher '97 loads files and seems to almost complete functionality on my system. Unfortunately I can't click on any UI elements and keyboard events aren't processed. Someone seems to have even gotton Publisher 2000 to work (there is a workaround posted in the application database). However this fix doesn't work on Publisher '97. I would like to patch this, especially if it is relatively straightforward to do so. What kind of logging can I turn on to find out what is happening to the mouse/keyboard events, etc. Thanks, -Jesse --- Jeremy White <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Subject: Re: [Discuss] Crossover Office with Microsoft Publish '97 > From: Jeremy White <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: 09 Jan 2004 08:58:30 -0600 > > Hi Jesse, > > This is a great question, and the answer is to a Wine hacker -- > we'd love to have your help! > > The full set of resources for hacking on Wine are at www.winehq.org; > I know that's intimidating, but there are friendly folks > on irc at #winehq.
