[seul-edu] Edu-apps under wine

[Jim Thomas <jthomas@bittware.com>]

Along the same lines as the equivalency list (i.e., OpenOffice ~=
MSOffice, Mozilla ~= IE, etc), how about a list of MS-based edu apps
that run well under wine?

I say this because I have recently started using Lotus Notes with
wine, and wine has been very impressive.

The school where I'm the volunteer sysadmin has four Windows boxen
in the library that are NEVER working (although the linux PC's in
the lab always work wonderfully).  Over the summer I'm going to look
at the MS-apps they run there and see how they hold up under wine.
If I can get enough of them to work, I'll be reformatting four
harddrives ;-)

Here's a list of some of the apps we run:
Encarta
World Book
Britannica
SimPark
QuickVerse

The encyclopedias are a MUST.  If I can't get them to run, I can't
switch over.

Has anyone tried any of these under wine?  How did they work out?
What about other apps? (Accelerated Reader, Math Blaster, etc)

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.
