Thanks to pt123, found the tips for this manual here http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-291898.html

1. Install Wine through Synaptic (version tried: 0.9.46)

2. Download ToDoList from here http://abstractspoon.com/tdl_resources.html (version tried: 5.3)

3. If you have never run wine before do the following:
- Go to Applications>Other>Configure Wine
- Click on the "Drive" tab, leave everything as default and apply changes.

4. Copy MFC42.dll, MSXML3.dll and MSXML3R.dll from WindowsXP installation (usually in C:\Windows\System32) to system32 folder in Wine (usually /home/username/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 )
Or you can download the files from sites like http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml

5. Run winecfg and override MSXML3 as native. It is in the Libraries tab

6. Manually register msxml3.dll using regsvr32 by typing this in terminal
wine regsvr32 msxml3.dll
you should get this message "Successfully registered DLL msxml3.dll"s

7. Unpack the zip file with ToDoList in a folder, rename it to "ToDoList" and move it to the "Program Files" folder in Wine.

8. Run winecfg then go to the Applications tab and select "add application", select ToDoList.exe from the "Program Files" directory in Wine

9. Run ToDoList by typing in a console
wine "c:\Program Files\ToDoList\ToDoList.exe"

Enjoy ;)

NOTES:
Right mouse button does not work, but all the functions are available through the menus.

If you have your .tdl files in a windows partition (FAT32 or NTFS) you need open them in /media/hdawhatever

To add a launcher in a panel or menu do the following:
1. Create a file named ToDoList.sh somewhere (I'd suggest /home/username/)
2. Copy and paste this in it:
#!/bin/bash
wine "c:\Program Files\ToDoList\ToDoList.exe"
3. Save it and then write in the terminal
chmod +x <name>.sh

4. Now you can make an application launcher to the script file, just get yourself a nice icon for it ;)
