Well, it looked like it might install but so far I can't see anything 
happening. It's been about twenty to thirty minutes.

The last program I tried to install in wine was, I thought, a 
no-brainer. It is an OLD Win3.1 app that doesn't require much of 
anything except copy the files to a folder and run it. I've used it with 
every version up to XP without any problems. It wouldn't work. I'm not 
holding my breath on Streets and Trips.

I figure it never hurts to ask. About the worst they can say is "F____ 
Off!" Several times I have pointed out that this website or that one 
doesn't work well with Firefox and/or Linux. Often I get a polite reply. 
At worst I hear nothing back.

If "they" don't know "we" are out here why would they even consider it. 
The more times it gets brought to their attention the better. Especially 
if enough people that MIGHT spend some money with them complain. It's 
all about the $$$$$ and self interest.
