I am sending you email, because your message did not appear on the mailing 
list, so I can't respond to it there. I hope this is OK with you. As I said 
in the original post, I am not a wine "developer" (too ignorant for that), I
am a (potential) user of the wine library, and the wine-user list people 
seemed to think my question was for wine-devel. At this point I don't even 
know if I have a bug or some finger-trouble, and if I have a bug, it is with 
an old version, yet a newer version gives me big problems, so I dont't want 
to go to the bug report stage if all I am doing is making some stupid 
mistake.

The link 

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wine/wine-20031016-mdk9.1.i586.rpm?download

is broken. The latest rpm there for Mandrake is dated 20030911. I believe that 
is the version I downloaded and which would crash on starting my programs, 
which as I said, is the reason I reverted back to the version that came with 
Mandrake 9.1. 

There is no Mandrake rpm at Sourceforge for wine-devel, so which wine-devel 
rpm should I use?

Given that I can obtain a complete set of compatible rpms, do I need to 
un-install my present wine installation?

What will happen to my .wine directory? Will the old config info be used, or 
will it confuse the new installation?

I have my own "wine" directory, under which is my own assembly of a "windows"
installation, which took some time to get right. Should I keep this?
