Er, ok, I'll stick with native for now :-)

Cool.  OK, here's how things stand, then:
With native mfc42.dll, riched20.dll, and wordpad.exe, and
winefile running, I can put the msvc4.0 cd-rom in the drive, mount it,
click on the 'd:' drive icon in winefile, double-click on setup.exe,
and the setup program launches properly; clicking on "Standard Template Library"
properly brings up WordPad (yay!), but with a display problem (see below); clicking
on "Explore the CD" does nothing (because I didn't install native Windows Explorer).

Q3. Although I'm using native riched20 and wordpad, all the section
headers in the stl\Readme.WRI file are screwed up under Wine.  Anyone seen
that problem before, or know how to fix it?  I've uploaded the
file as http://www.kegel.com/readme.wri in case anyone wants to see it.

Q4. Is winefile going to be installed in some standard place?
I'm quite willing to write a tiny, stunted windows\explorer.exe
that's just a wrapper around winefile, but that won't help if
the standard installer isn't yet installing winefile.  Also,
is it a problem that winefile is a winelib application?  Wouldn't
we rather it be a straight Windows application if we're going to
invoke it from inside wine?

Thanks,
Dan
