Wine and game The Realm

I doubt ME is compatible.  I am running Win98 first retail & it failed with .dll problems till I installed the servicepack & ran Regclean.

You'll get best results from Wine when you make it depend on Winders as much as possible.  In the readme it tells which .dlls in the config|Exceptions section can be =not= overridden.  I commented out as many of these as the readme was comfortable with.

P.S. I also moved whole Winders directory to /usr/share/wine-c, reset config, and it runs great on ext2.
