--- Comment #4 from Leland C. Scott kc8ldo@arrl.net 2008-06-10 20:25:14 --- It has never worked and still hangs in 1.0-rc4. The test case I always try is the Reemez Exchange fucntion in the Signal Function Pack DLL add-on. I open the handbook and scroll down to the sample and watch it just sit there forever with the green box around the function like Mathcad is trying to do something. Under Windows the function takes a second or two to execute.
The funny thing is I also have a problem with another app, Circuitmaker 2000 Pro that also throws up an error message about not being able to correctly load the simulation dll. I wonder if the two problems are related? One person said he has tha last app working under another distro but I can't make it work on Fedora.
I've tried Mathcad under Fedora Core 5 and Fedora 8. Neither work. I compile Wine from source for each version that comes out to test it. On a 500 MHz PIII test machine that takes about 3 to 4 hours. 8-( My 1 GHz PIII test machine isn't much faster.
