And to that end, I had given a URL here, from which the application can be downloaded for free.

This hurdle probably deterred WINE developers from getting their own Bryce 5.5 copy, either because it's a time hassle, or because it may even produce a conflict with the license, that may not cover the use of the free version for software development.

I have a lot of paid-for graphics software, which I still hope will one day run under WINE, because in fact many of them won't under Vista, which I refuse ever to buy. {:-)}
