Good. And please post what the results are. If there are still problems 
with the file functions in a current version of Wine's msvcrt, I would 
like to know about them and get them fixed.

A lot of changes have gone into the 3d stuff lately, so maybe that will 
also be fixed in a current version of Wine. Unfortunately, if there is 
still a problem in the 3d code, you won't be able to use native DLLs. 
They won't work in Wine.
