Problems with wine-20030709

[Kevin DeKorte]

Thanks for the Tip,

I now have Word 2000 running on my RedHat 9 box with recent WINE CVS (Aug  5, 
03 update) build.

I did need to apply the recommended ole32 config option. Excel seems to work 
without the config option. Lots of FIXME's to the console, but it does appear 
to function. Nice to have Office working when you get that occasional 
document that won't open right in Open Office.
