Wine anyone?

[Brett I. Holcomb]

You might check out comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine on your newsgroups.  
Also check out WineHQ at www.winehq.com which is the main site for Wine.  
In addition make sure that you have the latest version (maybe unmask it) 
because as you know it's in transition.  Wine HQ has mailing lists also 
(which I might subscribe to also as I hope to use Wine for a lot of my 
older DOS games and stuff).
