This is about my experience running Traveler under Wine/Xubuntu. This is not an installation manual or instructions of any sort. This is mostly my notes, that I figured others may be able to find useful.
Commands run to get Wine ready for Traveler in XUbuntu 12.04 & mint-xfce 14:
- winetricks mfc42
- wineserver -k
Keep in mind that this will kill everything running under Wine.
Desktop Shortcut:
Out of the box the traveler link did not work for me. This is because traveler was installed under Program Files (x86). You may not have this problem.
I created a new launcher pointing to:
wine '/home/userprofile/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/DSTrav/apps/traveler.exe'
I also converted the icon file to a png to make it easier to use on my desktop:
Or the even more retro icon:
Audio:
The volume level for Traveler (or Wine) was substantially quieter than the rest of my system. Thankfully pavucontrol lets you adjust the volume for applications discreetly.
olsrvc.exe crashing:
Make sure that you audio input devices is not muted, in the linux host.
Wine AppDP - Traveler 2.03:

Just For Fun:
While at the St. Louis Sculpture Garden, I encountered a sculpture that reminded me of Traveler.
