Linux Wine

I'm pleased that some of my old applications actually work.  

What works

• LTspice IV
• This is very good. Now I have a superb Spice simulator running on Linux.
• Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard
• I can edit PDF files, but Linux solution may also exist.
• Merrian-Webster
• Works only after installing msvcirt.dll.
• Matter of convenience with excellent pronunciation. Online dictionaries exist.
• Viewmate 11.2
• Good free Gerber viewer.
• Most parts work except it cannot load directory.  Can load zip file.
• ExpressPCB
• An easy to use commercial PCB design tool for simple boards. Can import netlist from LTspice.

What does not

• Protel 99 SE
• Fails to start with error message: Unhandled exception 0x0eedfade ... It would be nice if this works. But I can always run it on a virtual machine.
• Altium Designer Viewer
• Installs fine, but fails in the middle of starting up.
• Visio 2014
• Cannot even install.  Linux alternatives are Dia and xfig.
