wine users - Jul 2009 - How to use older Versions

hey,
Sometimes there're Workarounds like "you'll need this dlls and this
Wine Version". How can I use an older Version (0.9.58) without deinstalling
the new? I tried it with PlayOnLinux, but there new problems appeared.

There's not really any 'supported' way to do this. PlayOnLinux tries
to do this (I don't know how well though), but it's unsupported here.

The 'easiest' way would be to compile the versions you need, and
install them in separate places, e.g.,
$HOME/wine-0.9.58
$HOME/wine-1.0
$HOME/wine-1.1.2
etc.

What distro? The Ubuntu repository still offers old versions available for
download. http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/
