I agreed to try installing the Ecco Extension in one or more of the 
various distributions of GNU/Linux that I use (based on Debian, Fedora, 
Arch and Gentoo) with EccoPro under Wine. However, I had to attend other 
commitments. Also, the problems encountered by Ecco users running Ecco 
under M$ Windoze are absent, since a commitment has been made by the 
developers of the Linux Kernel to maintain compatibility with older 
(i.e. 16 bit) applications and this is certainly NOT the case with 
Micro$oft, whose objectives have always been focused on economic gain 
for M$ first and foremost. Therefore, extracting (or extorting) 
additional resources from M$ system users due to planned obsolescence  
is consistent with their modus operendi, and that is part of the reasons 
I prefer GNU/Linux systems:  Both their motives and their products are 
superior.  (BTW: Since a number of the members of this list are 
affiliated with religious organizations, perhaps I should mention that 
GNU/Linux distributions have been developed expressed for their use. (I 
would have to look into it but can do that, upon request).

I use Katmouse for scrolling in Ecco.  So why do I need EccoExt?

Whatever:  I downloaded EccoExt4.6.7.7, extracted it and chose install 
EccoExt next to Ecco, which was already open, when Wine asked me to make 
that choice.

Now what? What should I look for?

I disabled Katmouse and Ecco still scrolls.  What else should I try?
