socksifying under wine: my test results

[Manfred Vogelgesang]

A longer time ago, I already asked about the latest socksifiable version
of wine, and I see that this topic has been dealt with recently without
giving the answer.

Well, I decided on downloading a whole bunch of different versions and -
for those interested - would like to tell you about my experience.

***The latest version which can still be used for socksifying internet
applications appears to be wine-990326. ***

I don't know whether this is the best version to use, and I found out
that earlier versions worked similarly well, though they all have some
problems with window redrawing and requiring to switch between windows
(or resize them) to get buttons like "send message now" as an option
etc.

Quite a lot of later versions than wine-990326 didn't even start, so I
can't tell you about their potential for socksifying. :)
By mid of 1999 I can see for sure that those versions no longer allow
for socksifying.

Hope, someone finds this helpful.
