The terminal output is as follows: Why would you want to run the Windows version under Wine? Why can't you just run the Mac version? I run the Mac version, and it works perfectly--even if it is an old OS 9 Carbon application. (Sadly, StarEdit doesn't work because it's not a Carbon app. Could that be why you're trying to run the Windows version?) Chip
