First of all I would like to know if it's possible to run programs on a 
non-writable partition.(?) If it isn't I need to convert the 
NTFS-Partiton to FAT32. Sorry, that I didn't ask this directly.

/usr/bin/wine exists as well as /usr/bin/wine-bin.

I did that and there was a lot of output (I stopped it after a while).

I've put this in there. Now I get:

jl at debian:/mnt/windows/Spiele/Warcraft III$ wine war3.exe -- -opengl
Invoking /usr/bin/wine.bin war3.exe -- -opengl ...
err:module:PE_fixup_imports Module (file) imm32.dll (which is needed by 
C:\Spiele\Warcraft III\war3.exe) not found
Wine failed with return code 2

If you want I can mail the debug-messages to you. imm32.dll seems to 
cause trouble. The folllowing files exist in my system:

/usr/lib/wine/imm32.dll.so
/mnt/windows/WINDOWS/system32/dllcache/imm32.dll
/mnt/windows/WINDOWS/system32/imm32.dll

The notepad.exe under the WINDOWS.

If you need more information please ask. Maybe there is another problem 
because Warcraft needs the CD-ROM when starting.
