I've never had much success with WINE, but have found Crossover to work 
(www.codeweavers.com). I installed the trial version on Slackware some 
time ago, and was very impressed with the ease of set-up etc. It comes 
with a universal install script - not sure of the details, but it's not 
a regular apt-gettable deb package.

According to their site, Dreamwweaver MX gets a bronze medal for 
functionality.
