While surfing, I ran into a "micro-ISV support blog", http://safarisoftware.typepad.com/mlp_developer_news dedicated to the very small developer. It happened to profile a guy who wrote a little notetaking application in Delphi years back just to learn the language, and who was surprised to find he could make a living selling it. It's called "The Journal", and a free demo is available from http://www.davidrm.com/download/jnl4setup.exe It seems to install and run rather well under wine-0.9.4 except for some richtext glitches, a redraw problem (just flip around between the main mode tabs of the app and watch the legend on the right below the toolbar - it gets pretty corrupt), and a bit of sluggishness. Plus, like many other apps I've tested lately, it constantly spews fixme:win:LockWindowUpdate (0x2003e), partial stub! fixme:win:LockWindowUpdate ((nil)), partial stub!
I wrote up the redraw problem as http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4145 That's the only problem bad enough to kill a demo of the app so far.
