Why do you say it requires win3x. Have you tried it with any (other)
version of windows? If it does not work unders say windows 95 it is
doubtfull that it will run under wine. Some games are like that in that
they are hybrid dos programs that want direct access to some hardware.
That being said, if it runs under windows 9x most of the time wine
_should handle at least the version check.
In any case the last 1000 lines of a -debugmsg +relay before the
message box pops up should give us some indication what the problem is.
In addition to the trace some other information such as the wine version
and name of the program is helpfull.
