I hadn't used Wine since the end of 2000, and this evening I emerged it
and played around with it a bit.  It's advanced a ton.

I haven't done extensive testing yet, but it looks like PAF 5 is working
for me to some degree.  With a little voodoo I was even able to install
it with InstallShield.  All of this is without a copy of Windows on my
system (when I tried it a few years ago you wouldn't dream of running
Wine without a Windows installation).

The main problem I've seen so far is that when you're editing
individuals' information, inactive fields tend to hide from you, but you
can get to them by clicking on them (so it's usable but not pretty).  I
created a file and added three names, and other than what I've just
mentioned it worked perfectly excepting minor font errors.

Tomorrow I'll try loading a real file and see what happens.

Even if things don't work out perfectly, it's exciting to see progress,
and I wouldn't be surprised if it's usable either now or in the near
future.
