Re: femm and wine/linux

["sengstrom" <stefan.engstrom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My guess is that changes in wine are responsible for the trouble.
It is theoretically possible to port the software to linux, but the
work involved is a little out of what I can do at the moment. 

One has to start with an clean winelib compile of the MFC - apparently
not something one does in a matter of just a few hours ;-)

There are also significant licencing issues (on the M$ end) that makes
people a little shy in sharing their progress with these ports.
