How come there's no driver for Express Scribe Foot Pedal in Linux,
specifically in Ubuntu 6.10? Anyone who knows how to convert the .dll
below to .so? Can a Crossover or Wine emulator do something abt this?
Is there already a script or could you help me make a script on this?

Kindly read the reply to my message below for more info.

Thanks.

Hi Marither,

I'm sure that Wine (and therefore CrossOver) could provide
a solution. However, someone has to be motivated to make that
happen. Either a talented volunteer programmer, or the company
that makes it, or someone who's willing to pay a lot of money to
motivate a programmer to see it happen. That hasn't happened :-/.

Cheers,

Jeremy

And you should probably install a later and more up to date version of Ubuntu. You'll have better luck with drivers and Wine.
