My advice to someone who wants to use Wine is to find the latest version of Wine that supports the application(s) for which you *need* it and refuse to allow so called security fixes that simply revert Wine to an obsolete copy if a working recent version also plugs the security hole. When new versions of Wine are released and as you have time, try them. It is my experience that you can easily revert to the version you were using previously in case anything gets broken by the newer version. With SuSE it is not always easy to use a recent Wine release. I also use a SuSE distribution (9.3) and I use Wine (0.9.8). In order to keep using a recent version of Wine I must avoid loading the "security update" that SuSE keeps trying to feed me. it is the 20050211 snapshot and is being supplied under the guise that it plugs the WMF vulnerability. The reason that I use Wine 0.9.8 instead of a newer version is that Wine is supporting Pegasus Mail (PM) on my system and both Wine 0.9.9 and Wine 0.9.10 cause PM to shut down when the message composition window gets closed. This issue has been mentioned on the Wine developers list. -- Jim _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
