Dumb Question about Orcad on Linux

RayDude

I've been using Orcad on PC for about a year now. I'm a unix lover and have gotten the Sys Admin to install Cadence 6.3 on our linux box and setup the license server.

However, I can't figure out what the executable for Orcad is called. There's no capture or orcad executable.

So how do I run it? Is there something special to install it?

    I've just installed 16.3 Demo under Debian Sid using the Wine (as of today version 1.1.42) packages from http://www.winehq.org/download/deblenny and Capture.exe runs and I was able to open up the .DSN file. Looks like the newer versions of Wine work. Way to go wine devs! The exec I ran by doubleclicking on it in the "winefile" app included from wine. It was installed in: ~/.wine/drive_c/OrCAD/OrCAD_16.3_Demo/tools/capture/Capture.exe It is a bit slow to open & the mouse is invisible for a while within the Capture.exe window until it seems to load things and then the widgets start to work for the menus.
