Dan,
   I didn't say anything because after 3 1/2 years since I entered the
bug report I had simply forgotten. I certainly could have, and
probably should have, searched the system for anything on this app.
I'll try to do that in the future. I see that the game has worked
since 0.9.30.

   I am only a casual user of Wine. I've tried it over the years and
found myself more frustrated than productive so I put it away and come
back later (sometimes much later!) to try it out again. As I now run a
64-bit system I (mistakenly) thought I couldn't even use Wine for the
last 2 years. For some reason I asked about this on the Gentoo-amd64
list and found out I could so I decided to give it a try.

   This specific game used to fail completely. Now it works since at
least 0.9.30. That's a big improvement. However as a user type I hope
you can see where not hearing anything in 3 1/2 years other than two
people asking 'Is this still a problem with the newest version of
Wine?' would be a little frustrating and eventually I'd simply forget
what I put in the system.

   Sorry.
