Cool that you even tried it! I was considering trying it out in Wine since I've had some dumb luck when it's configured to run as various past versions of Windows. Maybe a long shot though.

This seemed the easiest way, and so it was. I told them how to do it; no reply.

IIRC Smartsuite was also supported on OS/2 and so it should be "clean" and will probably work well on WINE.
