Subject: [regex-coach] The Regex Coach 0.9.2 works on Linux under Wine
Message-ID: <49C69455.1040603@jpsdomain.org>

FYI, The Regex Coach 0.9.2 (and 0.9.1) works just fine on my Ubuntu 8.04 
and 8.10 Linux under Wine (Wine Is Not an Emulator).

HOWTO:

Type (or copy & paste) these commands in a terminal window.  Note the 
'$' represents the (non-root) user prompt.

$ sudo aptitude install wine wget
$ wget 'http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks'
$ bash ./winetricks vcrun2005sp1 vcrun2008
$ wget -O regex-coach-0.9.2.exe 'http://weitz.de/files/regex-coach.exe'
$ wine ./regex-coach-0.9.2.exe

Notes:
* regex-coach-0.9.2.exe is just the usual TRC installer
* You will find the tool in the Applications, Wine, Programs, The Regex 
Coach menu.
* Do NOT install Wine directly from the web, use the package management 
system (usually RPM or APT/deb) built-in to your Linux distro and 
version.  If you stray from that you will regret it sooner or 
later--probably sooner.  Trust me.

Hope this is useful,

PS--It might be useful to update the "Older versions, Linux, FreeBSD, 
Mac" section of http://www.weitz.de/regex-coach/, since it is so easy to 
get it working.
