But I kinda doubt that HRD needs 5 different versions of visual basic

Do you know which ones HRD needs?


I had no clue which one was being used, so I installed all of them. I
should have started up the radio program with 'strace' to see the system
calls.

Mind you, I don't know if 'strace' works with wine or not.

If I get really energetic one day, I could start appending the letters
'OLD' to end of the oldest runtime files, one at a time, to see when HRD
quits working.

That amount of work scares me.

Perhaps we could start a write in campaign to get HRD ported to a native
Linux application.
