I got Yardi Professional (the low-end version of the products at http://www.yardi.com) running under Wine, at least with its sample database! And it doesn't look bad. I guess someone with a real Yardi installation will just have to try it sometime soon to see if it works on real data, with the data stored on a network drive. - Dan

Forgot the details. To install and run it, you currently need to copy a number of DLLs from a real windows system. When I run, I use the commandline wine --dll compobj,storage,ole2,ole32=n Y.EXE Same thing when installing.
FWIW, wine --dll storage,ole2,ole32=n Y.EXE or wine --dll compobj,ole2,ole32=n Y.EXE gives the warning "loading builtin ole32.dll, but native version already present. Expect trouble." and fails.
wine Y.EXE fails with an exception in 16 bit code, possibly because wine's compobj dll doesn't implement the comarshalling interface. I've been told that's expected at this point.

That's great news Danny! Now if only we could get sharky to work, we can make our network a purely Linux one. A Microsoft Solution Provider in Sta. Monica told us that Linux might be free, but the consultants would "kill us" with their labor costs, plus the latest useful software don't run on the Linux Emulators so its better to install a Windows 2000 advanced server and Windows workstations. Darren told me these exact words "maybe this whole Linux idea is a big mistake..." but I told him I'll talk to a couple more consultants if something could be worked out... I'll get to the other questions later, we're swamped with work every Monday =) Thanks!
