I certainly could have, and probably should have, searched the system for anything on this app. I'll try to do that in the future. I see that the game has worked since 0.9.30. I am only a casual user of Wine. I've tried it over the years and found myself more frustrated than productive so I put it away and come back later (sometimes much later!) to try it out again. As I now run a 64-bit system I (mistakenly) thought I couldn't even use Wine for the last 2 years. For some reason I asked about this on the Gentoo-amd64 list and found out I could so I decided to give it a try. This specific game used to fail completely. Now it works since at least 0.9.30. That's a big improvement. However as a user type I hope you can see where not hearing anything in 3 1/2 years other than two people asking 'Is this still a problem with the newest version of Wine?' would be a little frustrating and eventually I'd simply forget what I put in the system. Sorry. - Mark
