--- Comment #7 from Erik codeslinger@compsalot.com 2008-08-13 20:10:33 --- I can't give you a copy of a proprietary program, that's not how it works. My intention was to make it possible for a developer to get access to the software. However I suspect that any test scenario for unc paths -- such as notepad network browsing -- would probably be sufficient for the purpose of reproducing this problem.
I would love to be able to send WINE gobs of money and have them fix this bug. Unfortunately I just am not in the position to be able to do that. I look forward to the day when the project/product I am working on (a replacment for Medisoft) becomes profitable, then I will be able to do it, when my business becomes successful I plan to be a heavy supporter of open source. But today is not that day, and meanwhile I am just a starving computer consultant who did two weeks of work for six hours of pay, trying to keep one of my customers afloat.
It took me two weeks because most of the stuff that was supposed to work did not actually in fact work... This is the nightmare of computer software (I'm talking about all of it especially M$, almost nothing works the way it is supposed to). For what it's worth, Vista won't run Medisoft either, so if WINE would run it you would have a major coup and a major reason for the small businesses who use Medisoft to migrate to Linux.
If you don't currently feel inspired to fix the bug then please go back to my original request, which was to fix the docs so that people are not mislead about the capability of WINE and won't waste their time trying to get something to work, that the developers know darn well does not actually work.
