wine users - Aug 2001 - Two Versions Possible?

Hi,

  Does anyone know the specifics of running two versions of WINE?
I have an old WinBlows app that will work only with the 20010216
version, but some of my other apps do run better with the latest
version of WINE.  Would I be able to stick the old version somewhere
in my directory hierarchy and still have a newer version for my
newer apps?  I suspect that the development folks do something like
that. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Yes, I do that on a regular basis.

I have also posted how to do it since a long time on this news 
group, so a pointer to www.google.com is probably as good as
any :-)

export WINE=/home/gerard/win/wine
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$WINE:$WINE/dlls:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export WINEPREFIX=/home/gerard/.wine
export PS1='wine:'
cd /home/gerard/win/wine
bash

export WINE=/home/gerard/win/wine2
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$WINE:$WINE/dlls:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export WINEPREFIX=/home/gerard/.wine2
export PS1='wine2:'
cd /home/gerard/win/wine2
bash

Then I use ./wine <app name>
