Has anyone been able to get Eznec to run in Win4Lin (an emulator for
running Windows as a Linux application)? I get the startup screen, but
then an error window pops up saying EZWf14.DLL is missing. It is in the
C:\Program Files/ezw directory (although Windows Explorer does not show it
either). It works fine running Windows 98SE natively.

You'll also get that message if DFORRT.dll (which EZWf14.dll needs) is
missing, defective, or in a place where EZWf14.dll can't find it, or if
EZWf14.dll isn't functioning for any other reason. It also needs
MSVCRT.dll, but I don't think Windows will function without that one.

If I were you I'd track down why you're not seeing EZWf14.dll with
Windows Explorer. It's a common type of dll, similar to Windows system
dlls, and there's no reason it should be hidden.

Hi,
I'm running EZNEC using Wine (Codeweaver Office version) as well as
VMWare. Everything works fine here. Have you tried using Wine instead of
Win4Lin? If I remember correct than Win4Lin is a virtual machine just like
VMWare. Is this correct?

Hi Bob,

I've been running Win4Lin for years, since the original alpha pre-1
days, and never had anything, well anything normal, that didn't work,
including RadioMobile. And Roy's program seems to be pretty normal in
how it talks to the OS.

Which version of Win4Lin? The new one that does XP?

Did the install look clean? No hiccups during it?

If there was anything at all suspicious, get in touch with Win4Lin
support, they are quite good at following up.

I tried the demo (successfuly) and am pretty sure the problem is that I
can't find my original EZW version 3 to version 4+ upgrade file and
copying the c:\Program Files\EZW directory from my Win 98SE partition
(which I want to delete eventually) either didn't give me all the files I
needed or the registry won't recognize something. I'll try installing
version 3 (I still have the CD for that), which is less capable, but
better than the demo.

Sounds like the way to go. I'll bet Roy's response is in the pipeline
already.

I encourage people having any problem with EZNEC to email me. But I
think this is of general interest to all users of Windows programs as
well as EZNEC, so I'll continue posting here for a short while. It is
drifting away from anything to do with antennas, though, so it should be
taken to email if it's not resolved very soon.

Like many Windows programs, EZNEC requires files and Registry entries
which which are installed with the installation program but not in the
EZNEC program directory. So it won't function properly or at all if you
just copy the program directory from another computer or operating
system. (The demo program is a little more tolerant this way and you
might get away with it, depending on what you already have installed on
your machine. But don't count on it.) The only way to produce a
functioning full-version program is to install it on the target system
using the installation program. This also holds true for many other
Windows programs. Sorry, Toto, we're not in DOS any more.

Anyone who purchases an upgrade doesn't get an "upgrade file". You get
the complete newer version of the program which doesn't require the old
version to install or run. An upgrade just gets you a special price, not
a different program.

Email me if you need to make arrangements to download the program again.

For those of you who have EZNEC or might purchase it in the future -- if
you aren't able or willing to back up the downloaded file, spend the
extra $10 for the CD. I heartily recommend this for all programs, not
just EZNEC.
