It took a while to get it working right. there was a lot of fiddling
with the 'Wine' setup.

This thing has enough bells and whistles to last a lon, long time.

I'm interested in this, could you document your 'fiddling', or make
the .conf files available?

Thanks,
Nigel

You should add (let add) this app to the wine database:

there is another database he

Good. Now you can becaome an autospotter. See haow many 50 Watt
stations from the other side of the world you can pick up. Going after
high power broadcasters is for wimps.

Unfortunately appdb.winehq.org says HRD 4.0 connects, locks up and has
to be killed. I cant find any listing of HRD on frankscorner.org but
it did lead me to www.codeweavers.com which says it's "Known not to
work".

So I thank you for your suggestions, but they didn't help. Since Mike
(the OP) said he had it working, I hope he will tell us how.

Open this link and then select/copy the whole page contents.
Paste it into a word processor and then save it as a text file.

After it's saved, right click on the icon, get 'properties' and make it
an 'executable' file by checking off the little box in the properties
listing.

Open a terminal, go to the directory you've saved the file in and type
in the name of this now executable file. Do this as a normal user, NOT
sudo or su or root.

Don't forget to put a ./ in front of the name.

A whole bunch of Microsoft stuff will now be downloaded into your .wine
folder. There have to be some responses during the download, so you
can't leave the room in shame.

It isn't something I'm proud of and it's certainly something I would
never tell the children.

I almost forgot. 'cabextract' needs to installed first. That's the
decompression program for W*ndows stuff.

This should give enough information for your distribution:

I use fldigi. It doesn't control every aspect of the receiver, but it
does change freqs and modes just fine. The digital mode decoder is
excellent.

That gives me a very long list of packages it can install. I suppose I
could use the nuclear option of 'make it work', install every version
of every runtime and/or library that it may need.

But I kinda doubt that HRD needs 5 different versions of visual basic
runtime, 6 versions of visual c runtime, let alone flash, firefox and
divx!

Do you know which ones HRD needs?

Thanks,
Nigel

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.
