Many thanks, that looks like one answer. I could arbitarily give it the  
version number my app is looking for , tho' that is not a very rigourous  
approach.

I was hoping for some info as to why this worked before and not now.  
Appartently earlier wine releases did return something that satified the  
version check in the software.

Thx anyway, useful.
