Finally installed Wine but there are problems

[Alex Snow]

you might also want to look at qemu.  It's a free alternative to 
vmware that is pretty accessible, and might give you better results 
then wine.  Qemu uses commandline options to run instead of a gui 
configuration like vmware does, so you could write a shell script to 
start it and launch that from inside an x session.
