Installation (small manual adjustments)

Start Program

Trim Simulation

Calcualte Stopping Power Table

Program is usable!

What does not

nothing important - graphics have some minor glitches. This does not effect usability of the software

Workarounds

What was not tested

I have only tested some quick simulations.

Additional Comments

- run EXE with wine and extract in a designated folder "browse" - open extracted folder and run setup.exe with wine - run installation - go to the SRIM directory created during installation and check in the subfolder "Data" the content of the (ASCII) file "VERSION" its content should be: **************************** SRIM-2008.04 SRIM software version. See VERSION.rtf for details. ****************************** (3 lines of text separated by to blank lines WITHOUT *-lines) For SRIM 2006 the version line is: "SRIM-2006.02" My installation of wine created this file correctly - depending on your version and installed runtime engines, the file might be blank in this case you will receive an Runtime Error while starting a TRIM Simulation: "Run-time error '62': Input past end of file"

To overcome the infamous "Run-time error '62': Input past end of file" problem on a fresh SRIM installation, while a fix is being made,  you can try the following:

Please Understand the following operations involve modifications on your system. The author (Giuseppe Dia) cannot be held responsible for damages and miscalculations. Don't follow the steps outlined below if you don't feel confident.

Download the SRIM installation executable.

$> mkdir SRIM_EX

Put the SRIM installation executable inside the newly created SRIM_EX directory. This should avoid top directory cluttering.

$> cd SRIM_EX

$> wine SRIM2008.exe

The last step will launch the SRIM extractor.  Check that the extraction points to the newly created directory (in this example SRIM_EX) and press the Extract button,

Now launch setup.exe

$> wine SETUP.exe and follow the installation normally.

Launching SRIM2008 for the first time will result on the infamous "Run-time error '62': Input past end of file" on every attempt to do something useful. This issue is related on an empty VERSION text file in the Data/ directory inside the program directory.

We're gonna fix this simply by copying the right temp file (created during the installation) over the VERSION file.

Navigate towards the SRIM program directory

$> cd .wine/drive_c/Program files/SRIM

$> cd Data

$> ls *.tmp

you should get something named verXXXX.tmp with XXXX randomly variable. In my example it will be ver 5532.tmp. Yours may be different.

$> cat ver5532.tmp

look into and see it's the right file. It should be something like this

-------VERSION------------------------

SRIM-2008.03 SRIM software version.

See VERSION.rtf for details.

--------------------------------------

if you have the right file just copy it over VERSION

$> cp ver5532.tmp VERSION

Try to run SRIM now, it should run fine.
