Hi Erik.

I've thought of that, but it wouldn't work, and here's why. When you
start the window-eyes install, the installer automatically tries to
launch a temporary copy of window-eyes, as well as the microsoft tts
engine, and this is where wine crashes. I don't know of a way to tell
the installer to not attempt launching the temporary copy of wineyes
along with the tts engine. The only way around this I could think of
is to install wineyes on a real windows machine, and move the
installed stuff into wine. Even so, I believe that wineyes modifies
the registry when it installs, and probably does other things which I
haven't been able to catch yet.

As for the drive game, it doesn't require flash, but it does require
directx 9, which I believe is built into the gpl version of wine.
