diff is a way of distributing differences between two versions
of source. I reckon the diff is the differences between 200000109
and 200000108(or whatever the previous release was...).. However,
being march now, 200000109 probably isn't current (I'm not sure, I
don't keep up with wine at all)...
I'll leave wine installation to Lawson, since he's done it :-)
But I will also strike a blow for laziness, and point out you
can grab a (caldera) rpm for wine here:
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/openlinux/contrib/RPMS/libc6/wine-20000119-1.i386.rpm
But I'm pretty sure it'll install ok on a RH box... pretty much
all distributions ( except teh ones that aren't) are using
glibc 2.1 these days, so there's binary compatibility...
have fun,
greg
