wine users - Oct 2002 - Windows program detects debugger and quits

I am trying to run a windows program called ACR with Wine on a Mandrake 
system. The install goes beautifully (thanks to all of those hardworking 
programmers!). But when I try to run ACR it complains that Windows is being 
run in Debug mode and quits.

This is also what happened when trying to run ACR on Win4Lin. Does this make 
running ACR hopeless on any emmulator or is there a way around this?

Thanks!

Could you provide a link to an evaluation for this program ?

If there are no legal issues, why not ...

The normal way to handle this would be to find a web server somewhere 
that will handle such a large file, and post a link. Very few email 
services will permit such a large attachment.

Hiya!
Maybe this program checks the debugging processor registers
somehow?

Wine Gurus out there: Could this be the explanation?

The ptrace syscall which Wine uses,setup the process in debug mode
(thus using the debug registers). Probably some kind of copy 
protection in the ACR program checks the debug registers somehow.

I believe wine is heavily dependent of the ptrace call (correct me if Im 
wrong, Wine gurus),  for example for catching DOS interupts.
Unless there is a way to turn off ptrace calls in Wine, or you hack your
app to not do these checks, you wont be able to run your program.
