Very kind of you to give me that info.  Before your mail, following
this thread, I had gone to the official wine wiki and checked the
necessary packages to build wine on a 64 bit system.  I don't have 1/2
of what I need.  So I mulled it over and put off the process.  Your
mail gives me encouragement.  I don't know if Suse has a process to
get all the needed rpm's like Ubuntu has for it's packages.  Otherwise
the amount of work is doable, but I am pressed for time.  Let's see.
Wine is a fabulous program.  I decided ten years ago that I would get
my program (Radar - homeopathic software) to run on wine.  I'm still
short of that but I have not given up.  Gustav
