I tested here and it seemed to work ok. I wonder if its something specific to the series you are trying?

What version of wine are you using?
Do you want to email me the blw file you are using?

Intersting. I didn't try that. I'll take a look this evening.

Thanks

  Thanks John, I got that up and running.  There seems to be a problem with results input, and I'm not sure whether it is associated with the version, or with Linux [the version is 2.00 build 4]. I'm using the program to score one-design fleets and the sail number wizard doesn't move the placing forward by one place for sequential competitors - it continues to prompt 1 for each competitor, so I have to continuously change the position manually.

Thanks for the help,

Paul

You will need wine installed.
You will also need to use V2.00 for it to work.

    With wine installed you can run the installer using wine

wine sw200b3.exe

    This should run ok & will install sailwave into the directory you
    choose. At that point you can run sailwave using wine.

    I am happy running things this way so I have not investigated easier
    ways of launching it, but it is probably possible to bind .exe file
    extensions to wine in some way so you could double click on the
    installer or sailwave when it's installed.

    There is a bug in wine that causes issues with launching the browser
    (Publish results, help, etc.). There is a wine bug open for this, which
    has a patch to fix the issue & also has a workaround for the issue.
    Unfortunately the workaround does not always work for sailwave, though
    the effect is that sailwave displays an error dialogue but succesfully
    launches the browser, so the error dialogue can be safely dismissed. The
    patch works but will require you to recompile wine. If you need
    information about this I have it on another computer & can dig it out.
    The last time I checked (about a month ago) the patch had not been
    applied to the wine source tree.

    If you need any more help let me know.

John
