What works
Installs, runs, can create a new project with chapters and scenes, add text to scenes, add characters/locations/items.
Does not use any custom controls, databases or dlls. Was designed to be wine/mono friendly.
See comment about winetricks comctl32 below.

Additional Comments
You need to run winetricks dotnet2sp2 and comctl32 (without the latter, context menus will not appear on listviews when you right-click.) Richtext control 2.0 may also be required.

MUST install mono for yWriter to run. However upon project creation yWriter freezes.

I tried using yWriter 5 wih the latest Wine but it freezes upon using the new project wizard. If using the normal blank new project option, it eventually freezes again just adding in scenes.
Help.
Thanks!
