Well, I'm a York science student, and we have to use SciFinder all the
time.  Of COURSE there's no cross-platform version.  I tried installing
it through wine and it failed.

The secret for me was to install Win98, boot into win98, install
scifinder, then boot back into linux, configure wine to use /mnt/windows
as the windows root, and then scifinder ran perfectly.  I use it all the
time without any problems.

Dunno... may help.
