I believe that most of the Starcraft stuff is ancient because Starcraft has
been running fairly reliably with recent versions.  I'm having some
difficulties with Starcraft, but they have probably more to do with my graphic
card drivers than WINE (stupid nVidia) The reason that this makes me think so
is because the 0.9-6 drivers have broken my DGA for Starcraft (if ever a reason
not to get a driver) my only question is "what are they testing this stuff on?"
 Anyways, Starcraft should work just about perfectly on 20001012... that's when
I got my first recent WINE, and I had pretty much 0 problems with installation
or with gameplay.

If you're still having some troube with Starcraft and WINE, gimme an e-mail,
and I might be able to help you out more helpfully.
