RTG Bills

What works

Everything used seems to work with the following limitation, this is a kinda script to install which should explain:

### Get and install winetricks:
### http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks

# Set your preferences
WINEPREFIX=~/.Rtgbills winecfg;\
# Set up wine for RTG Bills using winetricks
WINEPREFIX=~/.Rtgbills winetricks vb6run art2kmin mdac27 wsh56 dcom98;\
# Download RTG Bills from here:
# http://www.rtgsoftware.com/download.htm
# Or (adjust as required):
wget http://cdn.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/winxp/busacct/bills221.exe;\
WINEPREFIX=~/.Rtgbills wine bills221.exe;\
done

It seems, for RTG Bills and Timer to run normally set dcom98 dlls "ole32", "oleaut32" & "rpcrt4" to "builtin"; BUT to run any (it seems) of the functions under the "Reports" menu set those dlls to "native, builtin" - some other functions (e.g.: Setup > Bill Formats...; File > Change Matter Number...) will fail with this set up.  I guess some clever setup of winecfg could resolve this tooing and froing.

What does not

Nothing tested to date, see above.
