Lotus Notes 6.5.1 and Wine 0.9.8

True to form, this month's Wine upgrade broke Notes again. Thankfully the problem had been found by others and it wasn't too hard to fix.

This post has the details - you have to specify WINEDLLOVERRIDES="usp10=n". An easier alternative to setting the WINEDDLOVERRIDES environment variable is to use the winecfg utility which sets the preference in ./wine/user.reg.. Be careful to set it to 'native' only, I originally chose 'native, builtin', and that still crashed.

hmm, back in the days when I bothered with Notes, I used to try each new client with each new Wine that came out and only ever got it to start up once. And then crash soon after.

IBM, compile a client for Linux already!
