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.
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.

I bought an Acer Aspire One and have got Sailwave running well under Wine - except that I have not been able to get Excel or Word installed to run - latest efforts produced a "not enough memory" message which given that there's 1gb ram seems unlikely.
Is there a way to get Sailwave to publish to OpenOffice apps like Write or the Spreadsheet app.?
Intersting. I didn't try that. I'll take a look this evening.
Thanks

Its not quite that easy but it does work.
The problem is sailwave sends out windows paths ie c:\temp\...html and
openoffice doesn't know anything about it.
Anyway the attached script seems to work form me, though it may need
some of the paths changing for it to work. (this is running it as a word
processor, not a spreadsheet).
Save the attached file and give it a .exe extension (The browse for file
from the publish only looks for what it believes are windows
executables). You will need to make it executable (chmod 0755
startoffice.exe). And you can just run it and see if it starts
openoffice. If it doesn't edit it so the paths are correct for your
linux installation
Then from the publish dialogue select Application and browse for the
location you saved this script.
It should then start openoffice for you with the file opened.
I have not yet tried the following under Linux using WINE, I
can publish to OpenOffice Calc from Sailwave on a PC by
selecting publish option Application and then browsing to the
location of the OpenOffice Calc executable. Perhaps you could
try the same thing.
I would be interested in learning about your experience of
running Sailwave under WINE. I did so a couple of years ago
but I only had basic functionality. I would like to try again

netbooks is so low these days it might actually provide a reasonably

Wine beint the execution environment that Sailwave runs inside of, is
effectively the operating system & it can execute linux executables. The
problem is the paths being passes are windows ones not linux ones of the
html file so you need to use the winepath script to convert it from
windows to linux which was what the script I posted last night does.
It works fine.
However as you say it is not significantly different from save & then
open, but takes less key presses.

I might just have backed myself into a corner on taking over fleet
captain for handicap fleet... Why do I do these things!
Anyway we have a Saturday Afternoon - Fund Handicap Series which is
designed really just to get people out having a shot at racing who maybe
never really were into racing... or newbies or experienced folks who
want to try different boats or even different tactics.
So the award of points is a bit 'un-conventional' For starters it uses
a non-linear system:
"The 'bonus' system will be used , counting down from 50.
1st 50, 2nd 47, 3rd 44.3, 4th 42, 5th 40, 6th 38.3,
7th 37, 8th 36, 9th 35 etc"
So that will be one of my first headaches for Sailwave to crack. But
the second things is the points are awarded to HELM *AND* CREW
"Sail a Topper one week, finish 2nd, score 47 points.
Crew in a GP the following time, finish 2nd, score another 47 points.
Helm a Topaz in the next Fun Racing, finish second, another 47 points."
I STRESS - the purpose of the race is *fun* and its all very light
hearted - so don't feel the need to tell me the weaknesses of the
scoring system!
What I really want to know is can Sailwave cope with awarding the points
to a helm and a crew and maybe then not the following week because the
crew is now helming on a different boat?
Huw - I had no probs getting what appears to be full functionality using Linpus (the Linux SE version hat comes with the Aspire) running Sailwave through wine.
I'm a complete newbie to Linux, so it's virtual file management is a bit of a puzzle, and I have yet to find what the OpenOffice_calc executable looks like - what extension is it likely to have? I have searhed and found all files beginning OpenOffice and the nearest seem to be the configuration files.
Also have as yet failed to install a printer successfully - found the appropriate driver, but whaen printing to it, it repeatedly comes up with "printing stopped" - when i haven't and there seems to be no way to restart it.
I have not yet tried the following under Linux using WINE, I can publish
to OpenOffice Calc from Sailwave on a PC by selecting publish option
Application and then browsing to the location of the OpenOffice Calc
executable. Perhaps you could try the same thing.

Thanks for getting back to me; encouraging to know you had full
functionality. I will have to have another go soon.
FYI – on my Ubuntu system the Open Office files are in
/usr/bin/ as oocalc, oodraw & oowriter. They are actually shell scripts
which call /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice with a parameter –calc
for OpenOffice Calc, etc. Hope this helps for now.
I will let you know how I get on when I have tried running
Sailwave under Ubuntu 8.04 LTS & openSUSE 11.1
Huw - I had no probs getting what appears to be
full functionality using Linpus (the Linux SE version hat comes with the
Aspire) running Sailwave through wine.
I’m a complete newbie to Linux, so it’s virtual file management is a bit of a
puzzle, and I have yet to find what the OpenOffice_calc executable looks like -
what extension is it likely to have? I have searhed and found all files
beginning OpenOffice and the nearest seem to be the configuration files.
Also have as yet failed to install a printer successfully - found the
appropriate driver, but whaen printing to it, it repeatedly comes up with
“printing stopped” - when i haven’t and there seems to be no way to
restart it.
I have not yet tried the following under Linux using WINE, I can publish
to OpenOffice Calc from Sailwave on a PC by selecting publish option
Application and then browsing to the location of the OpenOffice Calc
executable. Perhaps you could try the same thing.
I would be interested in learning about your experience of running
Sailwave under WINE. I did so a couple of years ago but I only had basic
functionality. I would like to try again with the much newer version of
WINE. FYI - my Linux environments are Ubuntu 8.04 LTS in a VM under
Windows XP Pro and openSUSE 11.1 as dual boot option to Windows XP Pro.
Kind regards,
Huw

Is there a way to get Sailwave to publish to OpenOffice apps like
Write or the Spreadsheet app.?
Intersting. I didn’t try that. I’ll take a look this evening.

Subject: RE: [sailwave] Installation on linux
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,

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.
Huw - I had no probs getting what appears to be full functionality using
Linpus (the Linux SE version hat comes with the Aspire) running Sailwave

I'm a complete newbie to Linux, so it's virtual file management is a bit
of a puzzle, and I have yet to find what the OpenOffice_calc executable
looks like - what extension is it likely to have? I have searhed and
found all files beginning OpenOffice and the nearest seem to be the
configuration files.
Linux executables don't usually have an extension like exe - the fact
its executable is defined in the file properties.
However - don't even try! You can't possibly run a linux executable
from Wine - so the only way you could launch OO under wine would be to
install the windows version on wine - and thats just plain crazy!
However - I did just quickly experiment and you can export to
C:\windows\notepad.exe and get the html out...
If you can find a small html wysiwyg editor for windows that will run
under wine - that would do the trick... but I'm still not certain what
editing you are wanting to do... Is it not possible to edit the
template? Otherwise you have to edit every results sheet?
Kompozer's windows version seems to run under wine fine (there is also a
linux version which would mean you could save the file and open them in
a proper OS!)... Kompozer is quite nice as it'll do some of the web
site management stuff (ftp etc) for you - much like sailwave could.
Only snag I can see with Kompozer might be how well it works on a small
sceren.
Also have as yet failed to install a printer successfully - found the
appropriate driver, but whaen printing to it, it repeatedly comes up
with "printing stopped" - when i haven't and there seems to be no way to
restart it.
Is this a linux printer or a wine printer? And is it locally connected
on USB? Printer details?
This email is very misleading and wrong.
You can run linux executables from wine without any problem. I have
succesfuly launched openoffice from sailwave. See my email with a script
attached and instructions last week.
The only issue is getting the path correct and for this you need to
create a wrapper script which can have a .exe extension so the file open
dialogue will find it & that script can use winepath to convert the
windows file path to a unix one.

Just setting up to score some races on Lake Ontario in Canada. I understand that PHRF Lake Ontario has changed the Q for scoring. Will this affect the A and B factors for scoring in Sailwave.
Does anyone know where I can find the A and B factors for PHRF Lake Ontario scoring. I have looked around www.phrf-lo.org and haven’t been able to find them.

Two things I've sorted on Linpus running on Acer Aspire One:
I downloaded Crossover office (which runs as demo for 30 dys then you're urged to purchase it) - it's a version of Wine - and it seemlessly installed MSOffice 2003 with no probs at all.
Still haven't managed to get it to launch from Sailwave under the publish command, BUT
Have "discovered" if I publish to file, the xml file will the open in both MS Office AND OpenOffice apps - so I have basically all the functionality I need now.
The Publish to Browser works a treat opening in the OEM-installed Firefox.
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
John

Thanks for all good advice from many -- printers are installed under linpus direct, and I have tried sending simple OO doc etc to no avail as yet - main printer is Konica minolta magicor 5430dl for which i found the correct driver. Am going to try with HP laserjet 6 when i get a USB>Parallel cable - Acer has no parallel port not surprisingly.
