KNOWN LINUX PROBLEMS AND WORK-AROUNDS.
-------------------------------------Most Vizimag functions run without problems under Wine except for the Help syste
m:
The Vizimag help system uses Windows .chm files (Compiled Windows HTML files). U
nder Wine the Help system
contents show,but the search function does not. Also, closing Help causes an Acc
ess Violation message.
To avoid the latter do not close Help but minimize it instead (Help will close n
ormally when Vizimag is
closed).
The Search function may be used by installing a separate Linux .chm viewer such
as KchmViewer. Use
APPLICATIONS-ADD PROGRAMS to download and install KchmViewer. Start KchmViewer a
nd type or paste this line
into the Location box:

/home/Your User Name/.wine/drive_c/Program files/Vizimag318


drive_c is a hidden file, but may be browsed from Applications/Wine/Browse C:\ d
rive.
Your User Name should be replaced by your own User log-in name.
Vizimag help.chm will show and should be started.
Once entered KchmViewer will remember the file location, and starting to type /h
ome ... will show the full
path immediately.
