I read your other post and saw that you have trouble doing TZ due to Linux.

What distr. are you using? I run the latest version of ubuntu and my windows emulator (wine) is able to run Typingzone.

It's not perfect, and it sometimes crashes, but in general it works well enough :)

I tried Wine version 0.9.12 in Ubuntu Hardy, and it didn't work. When I run "wine Typing\ Zone.exe", it says "err:reg:SCSI_getprocentry SCSI type line scan count error (fscanf returns 1, expected 2)" then just hangs there.

Wine 1.0.1 is what I'm using now and it works. . .

Also, a new version of Wine was just released a few days ago. Perhaps you could try that.

I've upgraded to Wine 1.1 now, and it still hangs when I try to run it. I don't know what's wrong.

I also can't get Wine to work with Typing Zone.exe. My main computer is a macbook, and the computer I've run TZ on so far doesn't have an X or a 4 key, so I have to press the little electronic sensor and lose significant time :( - fortunately, the May Master didn't need either of those keys!

Here's the problem I get when I try to run the program. I rarely use Wine, so I'm not sure how to get the Windows IP Helper API working with it.

Using an older build of Darwine, I get essentially the same error:

Noah, I don't know for your problem but you should send a message to jeandid, probably he can help you.

Sorry, even if I wrote the program, I'm not qualified to solve that problem...
