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?
[b]Is there already a script or could you help me make a script on this?[/b]

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

Because no one's written one. :(

You're best bets are to contact the company and see if they're at all interested in providing Linux support or to contact the Linux Driver Project (see [HYPERLINK@www.linuxdriverproject.org] for the details). Either you or the company may have to provide a unit or two for the developer(s) to work with.
