ive had some problems with using wine with dos software. Often times, 
the software doesnt even run. I executed wine from the console and ran a 
DOS program via Winefile (because it was a long directory name and i 
didnt feel like typing it out) and when i go to load the dos program, it 
tells me that its unprotecting the memory, then it stops. I can run 
windows programs after trying to run dos stuff, but i cant seem to run 
any dos stuff with wine.

As you said, matt, the wine API is incomplete, but i tried running some 
text-based dos stuff on wine, and it didnt work, like i said, it wouldnt 
execute.
