The program will only run if I use version nt40, else it gives unhandled
exception,
starting debugger.... but the debugger never launches, though I've used it
successfully in the
past and its mapped to a dos drive, and set up in the registry.

check
> your .wine/config file.  What version of linux are you using?

Redhat 7.3 up2date.
If I change my keyboard setting in kde from the defaults to, say Canadian or
US,  and pc101 or microsoft natural
pro, wine then gives a different error saying it couldn't find a keyboard
layout, and using closest match ..
brazlian ? lol
Where does wine get its keyboard information? Xwindows? Shouldn't I be able
to pick a keyboard setting
soemwhere to get around this, even if it doesn't allow me full use of
whatever keyboard I'm actually
using?
