Wenlin 3.3.6

Wenlin 3.3.6 works well with CrossOver Linux Standard 6.0. This was the main reason I purchased my copy of CrossOver.

As mentioned previously, Wenlin 3 can be run from the CD-ROM. Wenlin 3's installer works well. The Wenlin 3.3.6 updater
can then be run in Wenlin's bottle. I used Windows 2000 mode. Unlike wine 0.9.29 (and 0.9.28), CrossOver 6 will also run Wenlin 3.3.6.

wine 0.9.29/0.9.28 can run Wenlin 3, but freezes when starting 3.3.6. I think an earlier version of wine was able to run Wenlin 3.3.6. This may be something to do with different handling of unicode between Wenlin version 3 and 3.3.6.

Crossover 6 suffers from some of the same problem as wine, in that using the character drawing tool each 'stroke' does not appear until
the stroke is completed e.g. when the left mouse button is released or you have lifted the stylus off the tablet.

By default, I can copy Chinese characters from the Wenlin window and then paste into a Linux window (e.g. the shell). Copying from a Linux (X) window and paste into Wenlin is inconsistent...

The 'workaround solution' is to open notepad.exe in the same bottle as Wenlin (using CrossOver configuration program, 'Configure' the Wenlin bottle, 'Control Panel' tab, click 'Run... (in bottle)', type 'notepad.exe'). Paste the clipboard into notepad.exe first. Chinese characters may not be displayed properly in notepad.exe unless a font is selected in notepad.exe which can display Chinese. You do not need to copy the text which has just been pasted into Notepad, just pasting into the Notepad seems to make the most recent clipboard entry available for WenLin to paste into Wenlin's own window.

I have only tested 'make transformed copy' once and it worked. I use a GNOME desktop on openSuSE 10.2.
