That's great news. Now does anyone know whether it will run under

That would give me an excuse for upgrading from a year 2001 G4
PowerPC Macintosh to a year 2007 Intel Macintosh. Mac OS X is to a
large extent based on the BSD variety of UNIX.

The demo program is free, at http://eznec.com. While there's a small
possibility that the full program would fail on a system that can run
the demo, it's not likely. So anybody wanting to know about a
particular system should just download the demo and try it.

I know that all EZNEC program types have been run successfully on Macs
for many years using the SoftWindows emulator.

Ironically, the change to EZNEC which made it able to run on Linux was
made in order to make it work under Microsoft Vista.

OK. So the demo at http://www.eznec.com/DemoEXE/EZWDemo40Inst.exe
which I downloaded at 2007-02-22 12:43 UTC includes those latest
changes? If so, I have to report that it would not run on either of
Ubuntu Dapper (April 2006 release) or Ubuntu Edgy (October 2006).

In both cases, I removed wine and its config files from my system,
removed my .wine directory and did a fresh install of wine before
installing the EZNEC demo.

With Dapper, I got "EZNEC can't be run on a network from a
workstation". I wasn't, but the home directory is network mounted
using NFS. The wine pacakge was wine_0.9.9-0ubuntu2_i386.deb.

With Edgy, I got "Run-time error '13': Type mismatch. The wine pacakge
was wine_0.9.22-0ubuntu3_i386.deb.

I'll try Debian Sid later. They have wine 0.9.30.

Please don't interpret this as a complaint. Rather, take it as the
beginning of a compatibility list. And I'm still hoping that the demo
I tested was out of date :-)
