Program cannot be run in DOS mode

[Dustin Navea]

Hi, that does seem a little strange.  It could be that there is 
something wrong with the package.  How familiar are you with Linux? 
Familiar enough to know what CVS is and how to use it to get the 
bleeding edge version of wine, and enough to know how to compile it from 
scratch, if I pointed you to the guide that tells you how?
