Thanks.  That is very helpful to know ... just to know that
it is not something that I can basically ignore for now.

.
Installing Pagemaker under wine also resulted in Adobe Acrobat Reader
5. being installed ... and it seemed to work fine until I installed
"libwine" in order to try to fix the problem that I could not print
from any win-application.  Now, when I run Acrobat, I get the following
series of "fixme" messages:

$ wine Acrord32
fixme:ole:CoRegisterMessageFilter stub
fixme:heap:RtlCompactHeap stub
fixme:font:WineEngRemoveFontResourceEx :stub
fixme:heap:RtlCompactHeap stub
fixme:heap:RtlCompactHeap stub
fixme:heap:RtlCompactHeap stub
fixme:heap:RtlCompactHeap stub
fixme:wininet:InternetGetConnectedState always returning LAN
connection.
fixme:heap:RtlCompactHeap stub
fixme:heap:RtlCompactHeap stub
fixme:heap:RtlCompactHeap stub
fixme:heap:RtlCompactHeap stub
fixme:imm:ImmGetContext (0x1002a): stub
fixme:heap:RtlCompactHeap stub
fixme:heap:RtlCompactHeap stub
fixme:heap:RtlCompactHeap stub
fixme:heap:RtlCompactHeap stub
fixme:font:WineEngRemoveFontResourceEx :stub
fixme:ole:CoRegisterMessageFilter stub
fixme:imm:ImmReleaseContext (0x1002a, 0x7fdeb8d0): stub

(With many dozens more of this line:  "fixme:heap:RtlCompactHeap stub"
which I deleted from the list reproduced above to save space.)

What do I need to do to fix the "fixme" items shown above?

If you are not a programmer, you can't do anything to fix it. Those 
"stub" messages are only identifying parts of the wine implementation 
that have not yet been implemented.

For example, let's assume we have a function that is supposed to draw a 
circle. In wine, it might be implemented currently like this:

void DrawCircle()
{
   printf( "fixme:DrawCircle stub\n" );
}

So, instead of drawing the circle, it only prints out a message which 
tells that nothing has been done for it. The result is that the message 
is printed out, and no circles are being drawn.

To fix it, the developer should write code that actually draws the 
circle and then remove the print-command to remove the message.
