When in windows a program can acces them, in wine it should too. Correct me if
i'm wrong, but we're not creating the perfect windows here, but a
bug-compitible one.

I tried to launch it from the Program files, /mnt/cdrom , and the dosdevice,
no difference. (which is good, it shouldn't make any difference)
I have however been able to upgrade it to broodwar. Still refused to run, but
still nice it worked. I guess i'm only a no-cd patch away from sc on linux

I am now a member of the list, so please dont cc (or to :-) ) me.
