So the answer's no. :( Well, thanks anyway - didn't mean to stir up the nest! Wine is such a good project, it would be a shame if those items which help tremendously, like winetricks, cannot be pasted in and out of the main set of programs without much bother. I write that as a comparatively novice in the Linux field who needs a little hand-holding. Wine must be the most useful add-on that there is out there. (Hope I haven't upset anyone here...) As far as I am concerned, it is not the the fact that the Linux systems are free for the most part, rather that one knows what one is using and putting one's faith in, that makes them real winners. Microsoft nor Apple let their users know what is really going on, for obvious reasonable reasons. However, personally I like to know that the calculator I am using has not been tampered with. There are enough politicians and economists in the world who would have you believe that 2+2=5, without blindly accepting the word of folk in Seattle or anywhere else... Anyway, my tuppenceworth. :D Don't mean to rant... Look forward to the improvement by Dan and/or Austin when they get the time (well done lads, whoever your are!) I am trying to install the only program which stops me changing over completely to Ubuntu (9.10 is getting better and better after a somewhat shaky start) using wine, but this dongle thing is proving a bit of a nuisance.
