Confirming Known Issues with old version of FTM

I've installed "Family Tree Maker Version 6.0 for Windows 95" in Wine 0.9.9-0ubuntu2 on Ubuntu and using the CrossOver beta for OS X.

On both systems, there are the two issues present which have been previously reported for later versions of this application:

  1. The message "Cannot obtain version information for OLE2NLS.DLL. You may need to put the file OLE2NLS.DLL in the SYSTEM directory within your Windows directory." appears when the program opens.

  2. There are frequent re-draw issues, particularly as I click from person to person in the "card" portion of the interface.

That said, it is (modulo awkwardness because of the re-draw bugs) pretty functional. Sadly, the cosmetic problems are enough to keep my Mom from using this.

Is there any further troubleshooting I can do to help pinpoint the redraw bugs?
