Try typing bt and hitting return. bt is Back Trace and will give you
some more info for the developers.

Not sure. The newest Crossover Office release says that it's
wine-20040213. Beyond that they have developed a very nice installer
that will install Quicken when I cannot do it from Wine by itself.
They seem to supply a number of support apps. I thing CXO is one of
the best investments of money I've made in Linux. Possibly someday it
will not be necessary to use a completely separate version of wine
like this, but for today I'm happy to spend a few dollars in with
these guys to make my life easier.

I'm sure  they do. I was looking at Changelog files yesterday and saw
Codeweavers people's names all through the file.
