--- Comment #7 from Serman D. serman_d@hotmail.com 2010-07-29 10:13:35 --- Austin: Note that the above assumes use of NK2.info version .09b. The most recent NK2.info v.09c throws a "Component 'MSFLXGRD.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid".
On another machine running Ubuntu 10.04 with wine-1.1.42 and vb runtime fetched with 'winetricks vb6run', it is still very slow (~30s to parse the above 1Kb file). The hardware is a fairly recent laptop. y $ wine --version wine-1.1.42
