Thanks for this. Under wine, the locations are
~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/DavidPilling/OvationPro/AutoRun
and user files are at
~/.wine/drive_c/users/(name)/ApplicationData/DavidPilling/OvationPro/AutoRun
No user data has been saved and the latter location contains
only !Tags.csc.
Clicking on Misc -> Preferences gives an error Access Denied
(GetScrollInfo) (5). However, all the files seem to have sufficient
access by chmod. Could the problem be that under linux it is not
possible to create a file named !xxx unless in the form \!xxx ?
Fortunately, the RISC OS version runs happily under RPCEmu, (so long as
the latter stands up) except you can't print from it :-(
