After a long time of silence I will beak my calm reading this list:

Both (32 Bit and 64 Bit) are running on Linux (Debian64) on brand new
wine v10.12 from July, 11th, 2025, without any (known) problems. See
also Wines application database about "The Bat!":
<https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=68>
There are also three different installation methods described how to
install "The Bat!" on Linux/Wine. A fourth method will follow soon...!

If you find something not working related to wine please send a bug
report to wine: <https://bugs.winehq.org>
IMPORTANT: Please do not send it to this list (TBBETA)!

Please note:
1.) Plugins which are created for use under 32bit didn't work with
64bit version of "The Bat!" (not a wine problem).
2.) A connection to Exchange servers isn't tested yet but may work.
3.) You may or may not find some nice bugs introduced in "The Bat!"
from the windows world also in "The Bat!" on wine. So please watch also
Ritlabs bug tracker very often and very closely.

For all of you who want to run away from M$ Windows:
This β-Version is tremendous - it works without visible flaws on top of
a wine installation! If you now want to change to Linux - read the
installation methods some line up.
