No problem, but make sure to cc wine-users so that everyone can learn
from each other.

I've never had to use this scenario since I'm a single user, but I
would have to guess that each user would have to have the program
installed in their local wine drive_c.

In .wine/dosdevices there are symbolic links that point to virtual
"devices" for wine.  Z:\ usually  maps to the root director /, so if
you want to access anything outside of C:\ you can use Z:\.  Generally
you should use .wine/drive_c with windows programs though so you don't
have to look through the unix file system for a file.
