I scanned back a few pages, and I know someone had a "WINE" poll thread, but, decided to start a new one...

Having not used Wine very much, until recently, I have found one thing that "appears" to be an issue, and I can repeat it...

I have a Win98 install on device hdc1 - a partition of 2.0gig on a 80gig h/d (the other 78gig has been ear-marked for Linux Ext3 FS)

I have Wine pointing its files to this device, and the only reason I am recently using Wine, whereas before, I would have "never" thought to "commit" even 2gig to Windows, or a need to "ever" use Wine, but, Linux, as far as my apt-cache search has found nothing that works like this one program...

Having a business that digitizes analog sources into digital cd audio discs - I need to use some kind of "CD Label" program. What came with the labels was an Avery label program, and these labels have such a strange format on the sheet, I have found this program to be the "only" program that doesn't print every place other than on the label area...

I can start the Avery Label program from a click on the exe file, and Wine will get it started. The problem I have found is that if I change the label, and save it out. If I "close" the label, and try to reload it, Avery will crash stating the "label file" is corrupt and unreadable.

Here is the kicker, if I close down the Avery program, thereby, causing Wine to release control, and then re-open the Avery program, again, starting up Wine - I can then load the same "label file" fine.

From what I can tell is - Wine, or Avery, is unable to put out the label file to the disk, and that it is in memory - but Wine is not letting the Avery program access to this "memory" resident file. When you exit out of the program, and Wine - at that point - the memory resident "file" is flushed to the disk, and thereby, can be loaded fine [just my guess]

Has anyone had this same issue? (is it a common one?)

Thanks for any information,
