Good lord yes - that's ancient history you've got there :)

A new wine release is almost invariably released every second sunday,
with diffs of 300k up to (sometimes) 1.3M. Various people have been
known to contribute prebuilt packages - they should be linked on
www.winehq.com


To the question, I can't get PSP5 to run straight off here, but it
does get to drawing the main window and initial flash before death
so perhaps it's not that far off now. With the usual pace of change it
may be worth keeping up; the next new release should be this weekend.

Cheers,
-Matt.
