Hi Arturo,

Guide 8, at least with the current updates, really _should_ work
in Linux (or Mac) when using Wine. There was one issue that cropped
up recently, involving downloads of artificial satellite elements;
the unZIP utility failed on Wine. I got a more "modern" unzip.exe
and things worked Just Fine.

Which windows are failing to show up? I'm concerned in part
because if there are issues with current Guide 8.0 in Wine, they
may apply to Guide 9.0 as well.

I do a fair bit of testing of Guides, both 8.0 and 9.0, in
Wine. I've found that doing so can be a good bug detection method.
Usually, the bugs turn out to be things that could have appeared
in Windows as well; it's just that I was "lucky" in the Windows
testing. It's not perfect, but it's a useful tool.

(Note to Mac users: I'm aware that Macs have other ways of
running Windows software, such as Parallels and BootCamp. However,
Wine lets you run Windows code essentially as if it were native code
at native speed. The only downside to it is that not all Windows
programs work with it... I've found it to be quite good, but that may
reflect luck in my choices of which Windows programs to run in it.)
