Whith a patch you change the program itself. After patching you have to copy the changed files of the program to Linux, and start the program as before. Another idea: you could copy the CD or floppy as an image to harddisk, and mount the image and use it as a driveletter. With regards, Paul van der Vlis. btw: just thoughts, I don't know much about Wine or about games. It's my first day on this list ;-) _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
