wine users - Sep 2010 - Running FractalTime Software through WINE on Ubuntu 10.04?

Hi I am very new to Linux and Ubuntu platforms and this WINE software.  I am
attempting to run a program called Fractal Time that I have downloaded in the
form of a torrent file.  I have my executable file ready (it is called
frt710.exe) and I believe that I have WINE installed correctly on my OS, but I
cannot get WINE to open the software.  I have done a lot of research online and
I think that everything is configured properly, but I cannot ask the system to
make it work correctly.  As I said, I am very new to these programs so I could
be missing something super easy in these steps.  I also might just be using it
imporperly, in which case a simple crash course might aid me.  Any help is so
appreciated.

The software itself is very interesting and I urge anybody who is interested in
either the work of Terence McKenna or in a fractal theory of time should check
it out.  Thank you in advance for any help in figuring out how to make this
windows based software work in my Ubuntu environment.

Thanks again

What happens when you switch to the directory you put the file in by 
issuing the cd (change directory) command in a terminal session and then 
attempting to execute the file using wine frt710.exe?
