--- Comment #14 from Ray raydar@inetnebr.com 2008-01-31 07:52:44 --- Thank you, Vitaliy and Austin--that's a relief. After upgrading to Wine 0.9.54, the installation went fine, and it either found my Office 97 disc or that suggestion to bypass that entirely was taken, much to my happiness.
I'm a little bummed that the VBA editor didn't fire right up with no problems (got a "Could not open macro storage" alert), but that's for another thread.
Many thanks to those who worked on and fixed this problem, from somebody who it'll really help!
