Hai guys,
I would like to get some old WINE softwares for Redhat 7.3 & RedHat 9.0 machines. Because the latest WINE softwares takes a lot of time to execute an OCR program. ( Eg. wine-20031016-1rh73winehq.i686-2). But the WINE s/w provided with the RedHat-7.3 cd ie.,wine-20020327-1.i386 executes the program very quickly but the problem is, it takes a long time to build font metrics in order to call the program. So i would like to get the WINE softwares released in the earlier months of 2003. eg. WINE-20030318 for RedHat7.3 & RedHat9.0 .I believe that the earlier WINEs might call the program very quickly and also it might execute the program quickly.In RedHat8.0 machine the program works very well with wine-20030318-1rh8winehq.i386, which is provided with the CD. Please kindly let me know where i can get these old but working WINEs.
The machine i am using is a DELL computer with Pentium-III peocessor. For this machine which architecture is suitable. whether
i386 or i686. Looking forward for your kind reply.

Hello, Saravanan,
I have no idea where you can find old wine binaries - but you can allways download the wine source and compile wine yourself at http://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ALPHA/wine/development/
The oldest wine version they have is Wine-20030115.tar.gz so doing this could solve your problem allright!
Compiling wine yourself is really easy: un-tar the tarball with tar xzf Wine-*.tar.gz go into the new directory (named wine-<date>) and type, ./tools/wineinstall This will build the wine program of the version you want.
I think, to be sure, it's a good idea to remove a wine version which is currently installed - but I don't really know how this is done in redhat;
Compiling takes some time (especially on an older computer) but ofcourse it only has to be done once;
I hope this helps,
