Duane,
    Thanks for the info. I'll try grabbing a more recent version. I had 
two versions of wine installed. this one came with Crossover Office, and 
an older one that has been good with a certain Linux audio application I 
use.

    I don't really know how to keep multiple versions of Wine installed 
and happy. Do I just rename .wine directories with unique names? I worry 
that if I do that there might be certain configuration entries looking 
for .wine instead of .wine-20040213, etc.

    Anyway, thanks for the heads-up.

Mark
