WINE is a emulator for Windows or more than that.

The problem is that Wine Serial support is broken. It is still
remarkable that Wine has made so much progress. I will post the
error message for Xwisp2w and PIC_READ later.

To bad I know almost nothing of programming in Linux/Windows. :(

Subject: Re: [PIC] PIC development under Linux with Wine

Mostly I don't support Windows 9x because I use features in CMD.EXE that
don't exist in COMMAND.COM.  Also there are registry differences so the
Win2K procedure for defining environment variables won't work on all version
of Win9x.  This is the reason the installation program won't run correctly.
If you did manage to set up a Win9x installation manually, I expect the
executables would work.  I don't know anything about WINE, but PIC_PROG and
PIC_READ use generic Win32 calls to do serial I/O, so I expect that would
work.  I'm not doing anything unusual in that area that I know of.

All my host programs are actually written to a portability layer
specifically to allow easy porting to various operating systems.  That layer
has already been on Apollo Domain/OS, four old flavors of Unix, and Win32.
It should be relatively easy to create the low level layer for Linux.  I
just haven't had a good reason (paying customer) to do this yet myself.  If
anyone is seriously interested in having my stuff run on Linux, I would be
willing to make all the source code available and provide some guidance.
However, this will be some work on my end so I don't want to do this unless
someone is serious about it.  Once this is done, all my stuff will
automatically run on the new target operating system.
