    74 * it would be nice if the WikidPad.config and WikidPad_error.log were

    78 === Running WikidPad on Linux using Wine === 
    79 I was able to get WikidPad running in Wine, after a quick trip to the irc channel #winehq on irc.freenode.net, here are my steps: 
    80  
    81 * Install Wine (I was using Ubuntu so it was as easy as apt-get install wine) 
    82  
    83 * Copy the msvcrt.dll from your Windows/system32 directory to /root/.wine/drive_c/windows/system/ 
    84  
    85 * Type winecfg at the terminal (as root) and under the Libraries tab, add msvcrt.dll 
    86  
    87 * Run the installer and it *should* work. 
    88  
    89 * This fixes the error with the toolbar fonts as described above, and also shows that error regarding saving WikidPad wikis between Linux and Windows partitions (error connecting to database in 'Z:\home\endura\TestWiki\data'. bad marshal data. This has to do with the difference of Unix and Windows carriage returns. ** Update: You won't have the last problem if you are running WikidPad 1.20beta or above. **''''
