[Wine] Wine doesn't work?

[Evil Jay]

Try running "wine (windows.exe)" from the command line to see if it
gives you a better error.  If it works when you try it in that manner,
it's a problem with the slackware package and should be directed to
whomever maintains it.

Why run emule instead of the native Linux amule (http://www.amule.org)?
