Using Wine

[Bryan Quigley]

I tried the free demo and had no luck, it just doesn't open and doesn't give
any errors (so you probably did set up wine correctly it just doesn't
work).  Sorry, this is not one of the apps that just work out of the box and
since no one else appears to have tried it so there are no easy
workarounds.  Try asking for help on Wine's mailing list or at the very
least add the app to the appdb and say it doesn't work.

You *might* want to try an updated version of wine (
http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb).  But if they don't have the app in
the db, odds are this would not fix whatever keeps it from working.

Good luck and please keep posting any progress you make,
Bryan
