http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/220guide.exe is an "online manual" for the Toshiba 220CDS laptop. I unzipped it with Linux unzip, then ran its setup and the app itself with Wine20020605-2 from Red Hat 8. Both ran acceptably well, although I did get a few warnings like:
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x4011a4a8 "../../scheduler/syslevel.c: Win16Mutex" wait timed out, retrying (60 sec) tid=08078300 fixme:scroll:ScrollBarWndProc Unimplemented style SBS_SIZEBOX.
and there were display anomolies (mostly, areas of the window not being cleared, so old text piled up).
Also, I had to grep through the registry for 'toshiba' to see where the darn thing installed itself.
I'm looking forward to trying with a more modern wine, but don't have time at the moment. - Dan

^^^^^^^^ Wow, that is ancient. It seems like such a long time ago... :) (But I don't mean to say that the test is not relevant)

OK, I tried the same app with a freshly compiled Wine20021125. The results are no better. The commandline to run the program is cd c/docs wine toshdoc.EXE
With either version of Wine, clicking around for a while locks the app up. (e.g. clicking on the big red Right Arrow 10-15 times locks it up).
Plus the display artifacts (text being overwritten without being cleared) are still there.
Wow, I'm really striking out running either the 16 bit or 32 bit version of this old app (see my other post today). Both are freely downloadable... I'd gladly buy a case of Guiness for anyone who contributed patches to the Wine tree that got either of these apps running cleanly. I sadly don't have time to do much more than test. - Dan
