Dear Marcello:

With NetBSD-1.6.0 and wine-20021007, I was able to run crossover office
(sort of).  Basically I installed CrossOver office on a SuSE Linux
desktop, and then copied my "fake_windows", "*.reg", "win.ini", and
config to my NetBSD desktop, and it worked with the native NetBSD wine.
I had Microsoft Office 2000 & Visio 2000 working on with a NetBSD wine
binary and the CrossOver office files.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that CrossOver office is just
a Linux optimized port of wine with a lot of configuration utilities
that allow one to install Windows apps and generate the "*.reg" files
that one needs to run those Windows apps.  I don't know if the Linux
Wine binary can run under NetBSD, but native NetBSD wine binaries
exist.

Unfortunately, there appears to be some change in the NetBSD-current
kernel that is preventing native NetBSD wine binaries from working,
even though they work with NetBSD 1.6.0.  :-(  Hopefully this will
be fixed soon.

Alicia.
