# wine-mono is faster and more reliable to install than dotnet46, but wine-mono doesn't yet support the ARDOP_Win.exe modem packaged with Winlink Express.
# Users running low-end systems, ARM-x64 emulators, or versions of Wine which break dotnet46 compatability may wish to install wine-mono instead of dotnet46 and use ARDOPC for Linux.

# vb6run and pdh_nt4 are required for VARA Winlink modems
# since winetricks requires static links with hard-coded SHA256's, and since VARA doesn't auto-update, the user must manually install VARA modems for now
# vb6run and pdh_nt4 are required for VARA modems, which interface with Winlink Express.
# Users must manually install VARA modems after Winlink Express installation for now (since VARA modems do not have auto-update features and since winetricks relies on static links with SHA256 hashes).
