So, I seem to have an IQ of 0, but still I at least seem to be able to

Erm, no, you have a typing monkey using the mail client for you :-P<br>

<pre wrap="">I haven't used winetools in a long while, but back when I did, I could
use it to run programs I couldn't run on plain wine myself. If I'm
running an older system, I can still use that exact version of wine a

that gives it "no point in existing AT ALL, PERIOD"?

How? The biggest thing that makes WineTools work is it's ability to set
DLLOverrides via a config file that Wine no longer acknoleges, therfore
that is gone, and only a few things will work via WineTools, if at all.
You can't install IE with WineTools (You can with IEs4Linux, and if you
are good enough, you can merge the ies4linux wine setup into the main
one without fubaring it. I did. I wouldn't suggest that regular user do
this, though.) I digress, and let you know that the programs
installable via it's 'database' are outdated, and some have broken URLs!<br>

LOLFAIL. 2.4 is no more "older" than 2.6 in reflect that is it still in
active development, and the developers will respond to commentary about
it. The same cannot be said about winetools.<br>
