WINE stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator. It's actually a windows-like

Programs that use undocumented calls and "features" have problems!



I found a helper script for Wine. It installs a lot more real Windows
components. Load the following page. Then select All and copy. Paste
into a word processor to save it as a normal Ascii file on your drive.
Set the properties on the file to make it executable from the command
line shell. Run it by doing a ./winestuff in the same directory you
stored it in.

There is information at the start of the script that should be looked at
before running. This script helped to get some Windows programs working
but is by no means magic.

I am not responsible if your computer has a meltdown. It is not my
script. It has worked for me and has not caused any problems.

A web search is recommended. You may turn up a newer version, I don't
know.



Cheers for that, mike. I might just give it a try.
