Forgot the details.  To install and run it, you
currently need to copy a number of DLLs from
a real windows system.  When I run, I use
the commandline
   wine --dll compobj,storage,ole2,ole32=n Y.EXE
Same thing when installing.

FWIW,
wine --dll storage,ole2,ole32=n Y.EXE
or
wine --dll compobj,ole2,ole32=n Y.EXE
gives the warning "loading builtin ole32.dll,
but native version already present.  Expect trouble."
and fails.

wine Y.EXE
fails with an exception in 16 bit code, possibly because
wine's compobj dll doesn't implement the comarshalling
interface.  I've been told that's expected at this point.
