Tips and Tricks

The WINE project has set out to make a compatability layer to permit Windoze executables to run under GNU/Linux.

For those of us who have to deal with quite complex M$Word documents (that OpenOffice.org unfortunately can't quite handle yet,... come to think of it, M$Word often FUBARs these documents too) these tools are great. WINE can quite happily run the common scientific tools such as Office 2000, Endnote 7, Origin 6 and SciFinder Scholar 2004.

When time permits... I'll put some tips and tricks here for how to convince WINE to do what you want, as sometimes it is a little testy.
