You may want to use either mdk's own Wine or the Codeweavers RPMs as
configuring the wine config file by hand (I don't remember if the
default wine RPM is fixed or not) can lead to no end of hassles. As
far as I recall both mdk and codeweavers RPMs set up the config files
fairly easily and intelligently.

For codeweavers' RPM, just run 'Wine Config' off the 'Programs' ->
System menu and tweak as needed.

I use Buzz 1.2 for Windows through Codeweavers and it is extremely
good.

Hope this helps
