Btreive question

[Richard Thompson]

My employer runs a number of M$ based applications that I've
successfully gotten to run with Wine.  One remains - it's a database
program written in something called "Magic".  It is hosted on a Novell
5.x box and uses Btreive on the client box.  I've gotten the client to
run via Wine, but it can't communicate with the server, complaining that
Btreive isn't present.  My understanding of client /server issues is
getting stronger <g>, but I admit to being stumped here and am looking
for a direction - spend time figuring out how to get the Btreive working
under Wine or spend time trying to get some other db app (mysql,
whatever) to do the data?  I can't change my employers preferred db
software (at the moment), so any suggestions would be helpful.  Thanks.
