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.
