It works! It really works!

You'll need PlayOnLinux to make it work, but it works!

I installed PlayOnLinux on my Ubuntu Linux box (my RPG game machine), and then loaded/installed Wine 1.3.37 into PlayOnLinux - because it "identifies" itself as WindowsXP SP3. I then installed HeroLab with "Install a Non-Listed Program", and after a few minutes it came up! Fully functional! Well almost: I had to pay for/register HL to get full functionality - but now I run HeroLab natively under Linux - and it supports all of the features seamlessly.

In short: it works, and nobody had to code anything any differently.

And I get to stop running WindowsXP under VMWare just to access HeroLab. Not that VMWare isn't awesome, but I like not having to start XP (it takes forever sometimes) just to run my ShadowRun campaign. And now I don't have to.

I've been running like this for about a month now, with no ill effect whatsoever. Just wanted you people to know that.
