QuickLOAD is a ballistics software. After entering all data and clicking the button to calculate results, an error message appears:
"Warning: Input of effective cross section area of bore is essentially larger than caliber!"
This bug renders the application unusable. As user 'jkfloris' from WineHQ forum confirms, Wine 6.14 was the last working version for QuickLOAD. https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=36143#p135918
OS: Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.3 (64-bit) Tested with latest winehq-devel 7.0.0~focal-2 from official WineHQ repo.
A demo version can be downloaded here: https://quickload.software.informer.com/download/
Installation: - install winehq-devel + winetricks + ttf-mscorefonts-installer - install vb5run via winetricks - install demo software: wine qldemo.exe - during setup wizard provide install path without spaces (e.g. c:\quickload) - during installation, cancel search for QuickDESIGN ini-file - after setup finishes, run 'wine QLOADDEMO.EXE' from install path - dismiss security/welcome dialogs to reach main application window - select bullet/cartridge from combo boxes; see values of 'Cross sectional bore area' - click both 'Apply&Calc' buttons => error message as stated above - dismiss error message and compare values of 'Cross sectional bore area' => factor 10 now.
