Check ntdll.get_wine_version(). It's not a good idea to add workarounds based on the version, but if you really want to, it's there. Just don't expect Wine to maintain any sort of backwards bug compatibility; if a bug you worked around gets fixed and that breaks your app it's your problem. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard@xxxxxxxxxx
