Tim, Gerard;

Something is very broken in Wine versions 20010731 and later including 
the Trangaming versions. The only way I have been able to get Lotus 
Notes to work properly is to install and configure it under 
Wine-20010629. Under the 20010629 verion EVERYTHING seems to work. After 
installing Notes, I switched back to the Transgaming cvs (20011004) and 
Notes still works except that certain buttons stop functioning. None of 
the setings tools can be used so the basic installation of Notes cannot 
be changed but with everything allready configured this may not be too 
much of a problem.

Gerard, how can I pin down what has been changed between 20010629 and 
20010731 that is causing this problem with Notes and, probably other 
apps thatt I just don't happen to need?
