Hi,
I've been using wine cvs for a while now, and trying to run the Australian Tax Office's ETax2002 program for preparing tax returns. Up until yesterday, it would fail with an illegal memory access, but yesterday it started working! I have not identified which patch fixed it, but the program uses flat scroll bars and list (tree) views.
I have now used the program to complete one (non-lodgement) tax return, and am part way through preparing another. The ETax2002.EXE program appears to work very well!
However, I am unable to utilise the on-line help, which is provided in winhlp format. When I try to run
wine winhlp32.exe etax2002.hlp wine "C:\Windows\winhlp32.exe" \ "C:\Program Files\etax2002\etax2002.hlp"
I get a message dialog saying Error while reading the help file `"C:\Program Files\etax2002\etax2002.hlp"'
The WINE help program then displays an empty window.
So it looks like more work is needed upon the help file viewer, but I suppose this is on the todo list anyway. I am able to access the help using the printed material from the tax office, which is identical to what is in the help file.
Our builtin winhelp implementation is known to be far from perfect, indeed.
