			==Using Chirp Software (Fail)==

			Downloaded daily source build of Chirp for Linux.

			Built using Python: <code>python setup.py build && python setup.py install</code>

			Ran chirpw, and got a window. Pressed New, and opened a new window.

			Radio > Download From Radio

			<code>/dev/ttyS0</code> - it at least waits for the radio to respond, the radio is in TX mode, the computer is in clone/receive mode, but still nothing fires, and it fails.

			Not exactly what I want to do anyway.

			==Running VX-6 Commander thru Wine==

			Fail. Big fat fail.

			When I run the installer, the thing runs just like you would want, showing the regular Windows installer interface. You click Next, Next Next, where to install, etc.

			Then, during the install process, the program throws an error message: "CoCreateInstance failed; code 0x80040154"

			Then another window:

			<pre>
			C:\windows\system32\stdole2.tlb

			Unable to register the type library; Register TypeLib failed; code 0x800288BD.

			Click Retry to try again, Ignore to proceed anyway (not recommended), or Abort to cancel installation.
			</pre>

			Retry doesn't work.

			Ignore doesn't work.

			Abort cancels the installation.

			So, I'm pretty much SOL due to a Wine problem.
