Is there an open bug report for this?  I would like to see one created 
if there is not an existing bug report.  This looks like the program is 
affected by the wgl and d3d errors, but I'm no expert on these two 
dlls.  Thus my request. 

Since you've been around for a while, I think you know how to name a 
bug....(some of the names are cryptic and some are very disturbing...)

Has this EVER worked in any version of Wine?  The brain damage level is 
high tonight....(And the doc gave me serious muscle relaxers for my neck 
pain until the X-Rays are read.)
