Its designed to switch between different programs that do the same job, e.g. to substitute Postfix or qmail for sendmail as your MTA, but there's no reason you couldn't use it to select between Wine versions. If you find that it is more complex to set up than you can justify, you can always write a small shell script to do a similar job for Wine. Martin
