[Wine] Switch between Wine Versions for best App support - "glow"
Hallo wine users, I just found a (maybe!?) very unkown project for better wine handling. It is named glow (- some GLasses Of Wine) and enables wine users to start their applications with different versions of wine easily. The motivation for this python-script is of course the problem that some satisfactorily supported windows applications does not any longer run so well in later versions of wine. Glow makes it easy to use many wine versions well arranged. That seems to be very interesting for users who intensively use older windows applications... The link: http://www.xn--ngel-5qa.de/glow/ (German! - possibly use google-translat or babelfish!?) I hope some of you can satifsfactory notice glow, h.
