Here's the status: I use WINE to run a few programs, mainly games (I don't even play them that often). These are Half-Life and (occasionally) Starcraft. Wine 20011108 fixed an annoying bug in Half-Life with Wine where you had to click "Done" in the menus in order to get to the game (it was pretty odd, but I figured it out). Starcraft works under WINE, but I don't have IPX (which is kind of annoying). I was running WINE 20010510 before, but unfortunately I never tried Starcraft under it. Maybe I'll give it another crack (is there some clean way to have 2 different WINE installs?) David Bronaugh
