Can you be a little more explicit for me the first time through? What
do you mean +loaddll,+ver? I haven't done that before, as far as I
know...

Also, did you want it using wine-20040505, wine-20041019 or both?

What is interesting is that this seems to be mostly an installation
problem. My laptop has wine-20041019 on it and the program seems to
run, but I could not install under that version on a clean machine and
had to go back the the earlier one.

Thanks,
Mark
