CAN-Do can be run under Ubuntu or MacOS, using Wine (Windows Emulator).
I had to copy three (edit, 4 neeeded) Visual Basic 6 routines
into the folder containing CAN-Do and the Recipe file:
MSVBVM60. DLL
MSCOMM32. OCX
COMDLG32. OCX
MSCOMCTL.OCX (needed for the CAN-Do Dashboard screen)
I will add these to a new Ubuntu section on my CAN-Do web page:
http://www.wwwsite.com/puzzles/cando/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
(done June 2014)
(the MSCOMCTL.OCX file added 15 July 2014)
I have not yet tried using the Comm Ports to capture the Log data
(when running under Ubuntu or MacOS),
but the program itself runs, Reads a Log file, shows the Recipes,
and graphs some of the CAN Message variables.
Edit: June 2014: I just tried Ubuntu 14.04 and Wine 1.6.2, on a AMD64
laptop, and it seemed to run there also... see the posts below.
Edit: 15 July 2014: JeremyW tried MacOS 10.9 and WINE and managed
to run CAN-DO successfully - See his post on page two.
