Installing BibleWorks 9 in Ubuntu Linux using Wine.


Why this is here...

I love Linux.  I also love BibleWorks.  Unfortunately, these two loves of mine don't play nice together.  BibleWorks only likes Windows and Mac. So, what's a Linux-loving BibleWorks junkie to do?  Well, there is a way to make everyone cooperate, and that is to create a sort of sandbox where BibleWorks thinks it's playing with Windows, when it's really Linux in Micro$oft clothing.  The "sandbox" is a lovely little project called "Wine".
