You should either pick a version of Wine prior to 5/20/03 (but not too much prior), or compile from source and apply a small patch to fix a bug (I can show you the patch). But first, get a recent version of Linux if you are really running such an old version.

So why do you still try to install Microshit Outernet Exploder??? ;-) There's always a better solution available... :-) Chears, Roland
Maybe he means "since 1996", anyway both opera and knoqueror can simulate IE.

Heck, my employer has one intranet site that staff are required to use (our leave request system) that only works in IE for Windows, even though 2/3 of the staff use Macs! Oh, and if you want to get a printed version of our staff directory, you better have a Windows PC with IE and the Crystal Reports ActiveX plugin (doesn't work reliably with the Crystal Reports Java applet). I know our programmers could have created these apps to work in the other platforms, but they don't have the time, and our most experienced programmers doesn't see any need for anything except PCs running Windows.
