I have .net installed up to version 3.0 under wine, and yes i have tried mono.
Mono is only a replacement for the .net assemblies though, and lacks system dlls. Under mono GDI does not even load. I did see the link you posted before when researching, but since then .Net compatibilty has increased and newer versions of wine have been released. Since other forms are loading, i wonder if it may be a font issue. Like i said before the entire program loads minus the main form where you edit the code. I have gone as far as decompiling B4ppc to try and further understand what is broken under wine, but i don't really understand what i'm looking at. I can only recognize resources that are being called.

You may be correct about basic4ppc not calling any system files directly, but the dll's basic4ppc access may access system information sometimes from what i understand. However things may be getting called... debugging shows they are, so i don't know how else that may be argued. (by system i mean several dll's in the system32 folder of windows)

Right now i'm trying to figure out if the problem lies within the dll's themselves or the linux kernel.

Thanks for the help Agraham,

Joel


Edit: For got to mention COM. From the website- "OLE32, OLEAUT32, RPCRT4 - COM and DCOM are implemented here."
Found out Ole32 is a dll that is not replacable, you have to patch the wine dll provided.
