Cityinfo 2.8 linux

Cityinfo 2.8 released. It is now free and downloadable from fba.by.

But it runs under linux only with some magic.
To run cityinfo 2.8 under linux:

1. install some winetricks
env WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.city28" winetricks ie6 comctl32 msxml3
2. install cityinfo
env LANG=ru_RU.cp1251 WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.city28" wine city28.exe
2a if you do not see Cyrillic letters correctly you have add a locale
sudo localedef -c -i ru_RU -f CP1251 ru_RU.CP1251 && sudo locale-gen
3. run cityinfo
env LANG=ru_RU.cp1251 WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.city28" wine C:\\Program\ Files\\ESMA\ Ltd\\CityInfo\\CityInfo.exe
4. do some magic (works in Gnome)
after running cityinfo you would see only a splash screen
wait for cityinfo to appear in the Gnome window list
minimize it (the splash screen won't minimize, this doesn't matter)
unminimize it
press Alt-F4
only after that main cityinfo window would load

This method is based on http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=8475&iTestingId=58549
Tested on Ubuntu Natty 11.04 i386. wine version 1.3.15
