[K12OSN] Re: wine question -- Scholastic READ180 works on server console, not on terminals

[Kemp, Levi]

>From my experience with the Scholastic and other apps in wine, they tend
to try and use the native linux app if it's available, including for
quicktime. I would even consider uninstalling quicktime from your wine
directory after you get the appropriate codecs for xine or mplayer.

buried 20 feet under the ground in a secret location... and I'm not even
too sure about that one"
