Melissa, I installed Wine last week and used the most recent package that I downloaded from sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6241 Click link 20031118 to read how to install. The configuration program winesetuptk is included in the mdk package, so if you follow the instruction on the sourceforge you will be able to install and do a basic configuration.

Very easy to use. Good luck, Marco -- "Tell me about these oppressed masses. What's got them so worked up ?"
