Re: jtf + wine on Ubuntu 7.04

[Christopher Tozzi <]

Did you try launching jtf from Internet Explorer (running in wine)
instead of Firefox?  That was the only way I was able to get the older
version of jtf to run on Fedora (that was about a year ago; I haven't
tried it since they came out with the newer basil version so I'm not
sure if it would still work).  If you don't have IE installed, getting
it set up under wine is extraordinarily easy if you use the ies4linux
script, http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page.
