We're trying to get better debugging info from WINE: see "Wine debugging and function names". Can you help?

I got Frontier running under WINE on Linux on a Windows-free Linux machine! Here's the story chronicling the steps I took to get this configured. I'll be writing a more coherent HowTo so other people can try this out easily. Thanks to everyone who's helped so far. I'll have more questions soon.

Frontier launches, I get the MDI and About windows (but no menus) -- and the HTTP server now works! It's able to serve a Manila site!

All the current crashes so far appear to be related to outline rendering: we're working on figuring out what's going on there.

I'm trying to get some of my co-workers to start weblogs. They say the same things I said before I started this one. The standard reasons: I'm too busy and I have nothing to say. I thought the same things -- but I've found that running a weblog is a great way to be engaged with the web and the people who make it fun. I'm sure this is a topic I'll return to, soon.

I'm trying Outlook Express for Windows today. I'm normally a Eudora/Mac user. As soon as I find something to praise about it I'll let you know.

I changed my contact lenses this morning, as I do every week or two. Early man paid attention to the growing season, the phases of the moon -- I pay attention to the phases of my eyesight, from sharp to blurry and the gradations in between.
