[WriteLog] Writelog under Linux Wine

[Alan Marshall]

I tried to do this a couple of years back with FC6 (if I remember which 
version it was correctly).  I only got as far as having problems with 
finding files after the install.  It did work partially but never got as far 
as finding the com ports.

Things have changed greatly in Linux since then and the current Fedora 10 is 
a good candidate for it.  WT6G (len at brasspounders.com) is in the process 
of looking at doing just this too.  He and I run Linux and talk daily on 
Echolink.  Hope you will keep us informed of any progress you make.  I 
really would like to get off Windows.  The main reason to go to Linux would 
be that is a MUCH better OS for real-time processes which would make the cw 
generation much cleaner.  Glad to hear someone else has some interest in it 
too. I have asked here a couple of times if anyone had tried it and had no 
response to the requests.
