Hi! I just hear you talking about programs like UT or winword, requiring either a 3D rendering engine or a million DLLs. But has anyone of you ever successfully started a plain DOS Program like MS edit.com or duke3d? Whenever i try anything like that wine runs into an infinite loop and does nothing but produce cpu load and> fixme:pthread_kill_other_threads_npmessages... With some programs i do at least get the message that any real mode DOS-interrupt is not implemented or called with wrong flags. Oh yes, one single program runs: the ping.exe of windows 98. Just all the newlines in the output are missing...

Maybe someone who does not think that windows is an operating system on its own?
