"Please read MSDN. \.\ _IS_ supported. '\.\NSLOCK' which is a device is _NOT_."

Am not an MS developer, guess I can't read MSDN (don't quite want to dig in to
that mess anyway and that is the very reason I want to use Wine under Linux).
But I did researched a bit, though not an expert. My question to your comment
is: since Wine support \.\ (the root under Windows), why doesn't it allow the
program to install NSLOCK on \..  The program runs perfectly in XP, so if Wine
doesn't support some critical features of Windows (such as \.\ in my concern),
can anyone please document (or even list) them clearly?

In any regard, making the program I am testing run in Linux is crutial as it
(along with a couple other programs, which seem to have the same issue under
Wine) is  nearly indispensible for Chinese stock analysis and at the moment a
large community is looking to convert to Linux pending on this.

Please help. I am a strong advocate of Linux and really want most people to be
free of an OS that is not only junk but also too controlling of ourlives.

BTW, would it be easier for you if you have the program at hand? If so, I can
arrange to get a demo version set to you so that you can debug on it.  Please
advise.
