I have a Tablet PC, running Kubuntu, and I have just released a project on sourceforge to allow me to use the Microsoft hand writing recognition. The current approach uses a .NET server in IIS running on Tablet XP to provide the recognition. I would prefer to write a classic Windows program that accepts the polyline ink strokes, accesses the Tablet SDK & .dlls to recognize ink, and run that program in WINE directly in Linux without IIS and network connections.
I'm thinking of my legal dual-boot installation, and reaching over with WINE to run the app just as I run Notepad from the Windows install now.
I'm a Java programmer by day, and I haven't programmed Windows COM before (much). I'd like comments and advice (even help) on doing this.
All of this message is written by hand in Linux using the SHIP project (except copying and pasting this URL): https://sourceforge.net/projects/ship-project/
Thanks in advance for information, bret
