    Ubuntu 6.06 /Wine /Mastercam9

    Hi can anyone tell me if they have had success running mastercam9
    with Wine in ubuntu 6.06.
    from what i read wine is for small win games, notepad etc..
    if anyone has had good results with this could you give me
    some input, would i need to reinstall mcam after installing
    wine or can it be run from its win xp location?

    Thanks Gads

    On top of the usual problems that come with a wine solution, theres the matter of the dongle (HASP). I'm not sure how wine handles dongles.

    There might be a work around but the moderators will hit me with a hammer for mentioning it. Maybe even for dropping this hint.
    Anyone who says "It only goes together one way" has no imagination.

    wine

    I couldn't tell you about Mastercam, but I am running a bunch of other programs under wine. Here's what I have going:
    Ubuntu 7.10
    Wine 0.9.46
    Autocad 2000
    Rhino3d 2
    Vectorcam 9.3
    Intellicad2000
    Progesoft 2008 (the latest version)

    None of them have a dongle. Sorry that I couldn't help on that one.

    I have had to do minor tweaks to things to get things going. Fonts are the thing that have hung me up the most. I ended up copying a bunch of windows true type fonts into the /Windows/Fonts/ directory and that helped a bunch.
    If you do get anything going with wine, use the command winecfg to open a config editor to do some tweaking on the application that you are working on. I found that making the 'desktop manager control the application' in the graphics tab helped a lot.
    Good luck. I will keep tabs on this thread.

    Thanks,
    Dan
