With Latest CVS Acrobat Reader 4.0 seems to only have 1 problem (the
licence agreement screen comes up behind the splash screen - but it is
visible enough to move it anyway)
> Family Tree Maker 9 runs really well as well

Apart from setup this works very well, although not flawlessly. I don't
know if the internet functions work or not.
> The #1 at Tucows - IrfanView - works pretty much flawlessly as well.

In fact, after a little more detailed look, I would say this works
*perfectly*
> MS Calculator ;) works well

Note: Pinball now comes with windows - so It can be tested out.
Don't include this in the list of working apps, but Adobe Premiere 6.0
has made great progress in the last month or two - It now not only
opens, but will add titles and transitions (normal AVI files will not
open however - it says that they are not a known compression format) -
and when printing to video, it freezes after a few seconds (well, when I
tried it anyway). There are also slight problems with the timeline (but
it is still workable - a great wine success story)
Also, DK Multimedia's "The Way things work" works almost perfectly
I've done some screenshots of running applications in Wine which i'm
going to post to:

a little later on today.
Thanks,
