It turned out that the DLL's in question were located in another directory (lotus\org6\compnent). This particular problem can be solved by copying the said directory into the directory where the main program, org6.exe, resides. However, it would be nicer to add the DLL directory name to the path variable. Question: Does Wine have a special path variable, or can I simply use the Linux path variable?

This is some-what known problem - Wine creates incorrect lunch shortcut. To start the program you need to do something like:

Code:
cd ~; wine start org6.exe

Wine does not support animated cursors. I'm guessing here Lotus Organizer just dies if the cursor load failed. You could try and hack Wine to return success from the above mentioned function.
