Hi Martin,

I have tried to run Blitzin under WINE as well and the outcome is that
sometimes
it works, sometimes not, and I can not get a pattern (it is working
right now). This applies both to newer and older (16bit) version of
Blitzin. If it works, I have sound, all the windows, the only obvious
(and annoying) defect is that the terminal window does not work -- you
can type in and send your commands but you can not see what other people
are saying.

I am using SuSE 6.4/i386.

The WINE session log may look like:

(BEGIN)
wine BlitzIn2/BlitzIn2.exe

Personally, I prefer to use XBoard from Linux. It always works and have
everything I need :-).

Good luck,
Pavel
