[NTLK] Question for Linux folk

Has anyone succeeded in running Newton Press 1.1(for Windows) under WINE (or
any other solution) with Linux? Newton Press is the ONLY Windows program I
wish I could run. So far, I have to run it on my daughter's dual-boot
Windows-Linux box.

It attempts to install, then InstallShield aborts out at 97%, saying, "Setup
requires _SETUP.DLL and _ISRES.DLL (located in _SETUP.LIB) in order to
operate properly. Please ensure these files are located with SETUP.EXE."

_SETUP.LIB is there, as is _SETUP.DLL. _ISRES.DLL is *not* there, but the
error implies it is within _SETUP.LIB. Indeed, this very same download
installs flawlessly under Win98SE.

WINE is the CrossOver version, which has installed other InstallShield-based
packages before.

Any thoughts?
