   Have not, would be interesting if it would work but I have not tried Wine   
   (Linux version only) but WinPoint uses a lot of WIndows APIs.   
      
   I know Delphi supports Linux (I have InterMail key core routines testing going   
   on now with it) but you have to use the FMX formats, not VCL.  It is possible   
   to move WinPoint to multi-platform, it would take a bit of work.  If you can   
   get the app to compile under FPC, then you may be able to make changes but   
   again, still would require a bit of work.   
      
   Let me know if anyone gets WP working or tested under Wine.
