Susan Craigin (sp?) is reporting problems installing and using DNS 9 with later versions of the development tree of Wine.  

Recommendations:
1.  Look at the Applications Database for information regarding installing Dragon Naturally Speaking. There should be an entry for DNS 9.
2.  If you are using Wine 1.0, update to Wine 1.0.1.  If that does not work, 'upgrade' to Wine 1.1.6.  Wine 1.1.7 had possible issues with any version of DNS.  1.1.8 may or may not have fixed them.

Again, the AppDb is your friend for information on installing any Windows based software.
