Sailwave works with Wine under Ubuntu 10, so it must be something in
Ubuntu 11 that is causing these errors.
Or perhaps there must be an update to Wine to work with Ubuntu 11?
Do any other windows apps work with Ubuntu 11, e.g. Notepad?

Subject: Re: [sailwave] new sailwave build uploaded 2.03 build 2
Hi,
Thought I would have a look at this last night. So installed Ubuntu
11.04 in my VMWare workstation (V7.1 It didn't want to install properly
in V6.5 so had to upgrade) Installed Wine 1.3 and Sailwave 2.3 build 5.
Trying to open any files gives a Divide by 0 exception. But you can
create a new Series say 10 competitors and 3 races. However even doing
a close of this series gives a Divide by 0 error. The confirmation box
which should appear to confirm the close does not - The Divide by 0
appears to be in the displaying this box.
Tried to use Ollydbg to debug the the problem. OllyDbg V2.01 does not
want to work under Wine. OllyDbg V1.1 although its listed as Gold un
the WineHQ doesn't work properly either, but does do some useful work.
The error is generated by Wine's USER32.DLL - presumably it is either a
function that is not normally used or the parameters being passed are
some that it does not like. However I wasn't able to determine which
function had been called which if Ollydbg was working properly I should
be able to determine and have been able to examine the passed
parameters. I'll have a look again when I have a few minutes but just
thought I would post my findings for anyone interested.

Colin,
Just gone a bit further with the grid I managed to open and when
I double-clicked a competitor cell to enter the details an
exception error window came up, same div by 0 reason, but
haven't checked if all the other bits are identical.
Kind regards,
Huw
