wine users - Mar 2007 - Running multiple versions of WINE

Hi,

   Can someone point me to instructions or FAQ on a logical way of running 
multiple versions of WINE at the same time.  What I am getting at is sometimes
an application fails to run with the latest and greatest of WINE.  Sometimes an 
ap runs better with a newer version of WINE.  What I would like to be able to do
would be to run an ap with which ever version of WINE ran the best for me.
I of course have the real estate to keep the code around for both or several
versions of WINE. Any info on how to do this?

                                           Best regards,
                                          Kurt Savegnago

Don't do a 'make install'. Keep the object files and executables in
the
source directory and run from there. You will of course have to use
WINEPREFIX as well, to keep the registry and stuff seperate, as well as
to insure that the correct wineserver is being used.
BTW, programs being run under different wineservers will not be able to
see each other.

Perhaps you could also try to find out what's wrong with the latest
wine version as you probably found a regression.

Ciao,
