wine users - Feb 2001 - turnpike 6 - a challenge for i cognoscenti, or a lost cause

The beta version of turnpike 6 is out. I'm using it here, but under 
win4lin.

A big point of the new version is that it uses windows explorer, and I 
had heard on the grapevine that it was therefore going to be a problem 
proggie for wine.

I've tried running the v6 'connect' program  under wine - that works
fine (downloads a new newsgroup list, gets me an e-mail - when WILL I be 
able to look at it)

But launching the reader is greeted by contemptuous silence..

So I've a few attempts at launching explorer separately- without 
success, due to a string of fixme's & unimplemented functions

Oh goodee, I thought, a new problem with TP....

But at the back of my mind is a post from someone (Uwe?) saying that 
windows explorer and friends would probably never run under wine, 
because they are too closely integrated with the kernel.... a quick look 
on deja failed to find a relevant post though.

  Am I remembering aright? If not, any guidance on getting explorer and 
TP6 up together (as co-tasks?)

It's not at www.turnpike.com, so I can't give it
a try for now.
