Thank you for this quick reply, it's fun to know it's at least doable under OSX. Furthermore, I'm not even looking for a full-featured "standalone" wine, I "only" want it to executes old and simple win32 exes in console mode. If someone could point me out to which files I'd need or if it's possible at all to do considering how wine works on windows I'd greatly appreciat Thank you very much! FG
