Dave, Glad to see I'm not the only one! <grin>. Thought I was going mad... The PO is set up on a Netware IPX volume. I use ncpfs to mount it under a subdirectory (/zen), making the entire SYS: and DATA: volumes accessible from my Linux box. The location of the Post Office is under \\ZEN:\DATA\CCMAIL. I put an entry into wine.conf which maps the M: drive to the ccmail Post Office directory. I then run the 16-bit cc:mail program using Wine. cc:Mail loads up with very few complaints from wine - good! cc:Mail logs into the Post Office, and displays the main screen, showing the different folders - inbox, trash etc.. - better! I double-click the inbox folder to get a listing of my email. cc:Mail then informs me with a dialog box "Not enough files to open window" - aaarrrgh <cough>!!!! As I see it, it's to do with setting up the "FILES=30" in MS-DOS config.sys. It looks as if the equivalent setting under Wine needs to be configured. Unfortunately, I could see no way to do this, after reading through all the help files/info associated with Wine :( So I almost got there... I did consider trying to set up dosemu, but I don't have the time to figure out how to configure it for use with mounting Netware volumes etc. Personally, I'd like to see some kind of port of cc:mail to Linux. If I could get my hands on the file specs for cc:Mail Post Offices and email files, then I would definately try to make either a curses-based cc:mail reader, or even an X-windows version. Hope the info above helped you. Rgds. Kevin. P.S. Note the correct email address :) -- Kevin Cave. A Scotsman living in London.
