My thoughts exactly. As grateful as I am for the existence of Wine, I've been meaning to draft up a short email to the development team about my concerns about its progression. The primary concern is that "yes. Wine should be moving forward" - on the development side it is, but for the end-user the dev's progression translates into backwards steps. (That is, until the dev finishes what they were doing.) Currently, I'm stuck on wine-20041201 because Dreamweaver MX won't install on newer versions; I think it's because they're still working on getting installers properly working, but who knows when that will get done. A year before that, Photoshop 7 didn't work for at least 6+ months when previously it did. It's for these reasons (I believe) that Winetools is stuck on an older version too. Again, I'm grateful for Wine, but it also helps to know this stuff for your own sanity. With Wine, you just have to be patient for newer versions. I just wish the road-to-upgrades was smoother. ;) Hiji M-Halo: Electronic Rock http://www.mhalo.com __________________________________ Discover Yahoo!
