I don't _use_ wine on -current, but I can tell you the brief experience that caused me to give up on it. I wanted to install wine to run Crimson Editor, which is a fairly nice text editor for windows. There's no Linux or BSD version. The wine website claims that Crimson works under wine. I spent about 4 or 5 hours trying to get Crimson to install and/or run. While I was at it, I tried a number of other wine apps to see if I was doing things correctly. I tried Getting America's Army to work, even Windows explorer or IE. The only thing I ever got to run under wine was puTTY ... which is one Windows app I have absolutely zero use for. Eventually, I gave up on wine and cleaned all traces of it from my HDD. YMMV, but I thought I'd throw my $.02 in. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
