    BTW, does anybody know of an offline encyclopedia which works under Wine?

    You can download wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download

    edit: if you really meant you want to see if any old encyclopedias work under wine, I never tried :D

      I know, I meant something interactive from that time, complete and consistent. Like Encarta.

        I’m still consulting my venerable encyclopaedia britannica dvd until this day. It works great under wine and actually does not work under a current version of windows anymore.

              Ah. I actually found the 2004 version and the script to run it on Linux, and it works except for world atlas
