That was about a program called Seed Master, but Bible Companion Software was also mentioned. The problem is that the program reserves a fixed sized buffer to store the environment (the output what you see when you type "set" under DOS/Windows or "env" under Unix/Linux). What was more then enough for Windows 3.1, may not be enough under XP or Linux. You can do two things: 1. Before starting wine, cut as much as possible unneeded variables from the environment. Use the "unset" command for this. You would do this in a shell script. 2. Remove the environment and add only those variables that are needed for running wine. For a start you can try this: env -i PATH=$PATH DISPLAY=$DISPLAY wine yourprogram.exe (the -i removes all variables, and I add the PATH and DISPLAY variables needed to find and run wine). There may be a few more other variables, TMP, TEMP, anything starting with LD_ needed.
