Note: for those who use Mac OS X and get sent here by google, you can also use wine to run ortep3v2. See here for instructions on how to install wine: http://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX
The installation file can be downloaded from http://www.chem.gla.ac.uk/~louis/software/ortep3/. Install in the same fashion as you would with any other windows program under wine. I will assume that you have installed it in c:\ortep3v2
Request a license the usual way. Make a file called Ortep3-license in the c:\ortep3v2 directory (/home/you/.wine/drive_c/ortep3v2). Put the license information in it:
########################################################################
Program license for : Ortep3 for Windows
User name : XXXXXXXXXX
User email : XXXX@XXXXX.XXX
User affiliation : Department of Chemistry, XXXXX, XXXXX
Windows version : Windows XP
License number : XXXXXXXXXX
########################################################################
So far everything is the same as for a regular windows installation.
The one difference arrives when it comes to setting the ORTEP3DIR variable:
go to the linux shell, type regedit
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Environment
If you don't have the Environment directory, create a new key with that name, then create a string value which you call ORTEP3DIR. Double-click on the data field, and set it to c:\\ortep3v2
You should now be ready to go.
