might just be coaxed into running under Wine which would be quite an
achievement.
Kudos: 1. The program, though free, needs be registered to a "machine number".
Did this under Windows, did not get that far using Wine. Might need a second
copy just for the Linux runs.
2. The program searches for all its own VST dlls and any on the VST directory.
Might have problems doing this in Wine. Some VST demos bring up an error box
saying please register, limited trial, etc. Such things may be disruptive in
Wine. (Other VST hosts let you manually find them when you want them,
avoiding this problem in most cases)
Anyway, the thing appeared to hang up but I was able to get out. No crash, no
bebug offer. Clean.
I tried installing it under the newest version of WineX - Cedega 4.2.
It went badly. All sorts of error messages while installing, finishing
with a message that it couldn't be installed and RichEdit out of space
messages.
I tired running it. An initial window came up and I was then greeted
with lots of snaps and crackles, but no real application. I had to
Ctrl-C it and then kill off wineserver instances still running.
Not successful here.
