about WINE ... and...

[Philippe Beaulieu]

Hello Afred,

if you go to  http://www.winehq.org/  and check the download section for
upgrading to the latest version, as Ubuntu 7.10 doesn't have it and yes
indeed... the text is weird on the original install, the update version
works way better !!

for everybody else... thanks for the info  :)

Ptrick -->  thanks... will be looking forward to it !!
