[Wine] MS Office 2000, and Shockwave, under wine 0.9.1

[Randall Walls]

I have been able to get shockwave installed under wine 0.9 by installing 
the windows version of Firefox in wine and then installing shockwave 
with it's native windows installer. Firefox has a few rendering issues, 
but works fine for the most part in wine. Shockwave is fine except for 
some sound issues (repeating/stuttering sounds). Not sure if changing 
sound settings will help. I haven't tested much other than a straight 
install.
