Hello,

I've just started to work my way through your Wine User Guide. I'm not a 
complete newbie (I've been playing with Linux for a while on a dual boot 
PC), but I'm certainly not a specialist. It looks like my RedHat 8.0 
default installation came with Wine-20020605. I searched for the check & 
configuration tools you recommend on pages 16 and 17, but they were 
missing. I found the winecheck script, but that returned an appallingly 
low score of only 1.78% after I copied the default config file on a 
freshly created /.wine directory.

So I'm now trying to figure out wether I try to get the configuration 
right for the existing default Wine installation or just throw it away 
and restart from scratch with the latest source code.

So far your user guide is quite helpful, but it looks like I have a 
loooong way to go to a working Wine setup.

Thanks for the starting text anyway, I'll let you know suggestions for 
improvement,

Best Regards,
Tom Alderweireldt
