Question 8.5 is probably more germane: If you are a programmer and know C, then start debugging Wine and help us make it better! If you can't, then you will have to either convince a Wine developer to try and make your program work (there must be a downloadable version or demo for that). So I guess I need to brush up on my C..... I'll get back to you in a couple of years. Thanks for the help and encouragement. scott.
