"Birthday Reminder" success, with elbow grease

2005-10-20 Thread Dan Kegel
"Birthday Reminder" (one of many, anyway) is a free VB app at http://www.zhornsoftware.co.uk/bday/ It's just a 275KB download. If you have MFC42 installed, it installs very nicely, and seems to work. (If you don't, the install crashes, tsk. Wine should put up an error dialog or something.) It has

Yes! The problem is that there are a good many apis that VB can use that are not common and are not implemented in Wine. All it takes is one use of one of these and the thing won't work. Most special purpose and complex programs fail. This is to be expected. As Wine develops this problem w

This area can be a real problem under Wine. The high end scanners such as the Minolta MS6000 simply aren't supported by SANE backend. If you want to use one then you must write code for the backend. You can usually get a basic TWAIN driver which is for Win. 98. These usually run under Wine.
