Shipyards and Wine

One of the most brilliant pieces of software I use is the High Guard Shipyard.  I have been reluctant to try using it since my windows laptop died.   I wasn't sure about running it under Wine on my Ubuntu lappy.

Until tonight.

So, to run the High Guard Shipyard on Linux, Here are your steps.

0. Have a functioning Ubuntu install of Linux.

1. Ensure Wine is installed on Linux.  Use Synaptic, apt-get, or your favorite Ubuntu package manager to do so.

2. Go to http://www.downport.com/amv/software/hgs.html

3. Download the Zip file of High Guard Shipyard

4. Unzip the file

5. Right click the .exe file and select "Run in Wine"

And, Bob's your uncle!

Many many ship designs to follow.  I am officially stoked.
