Hmmmm, is wine so "advanced" and stable now that it can run StarCraft? Anyone has been able to run, let's say, Word or Excel in wine?

When I try "wine starcraft.exe", I get two warnings from the starcraft program, one about my CPU and one about swap space. I choose "continue" to ignore them, then a black window opens and closes very quickly and then wine terminates. This is using the current wine port, wine-2002.04.11. I have tried using 8, 16, and 24 bit display depths in X and have tried all of the configuration tweaking in my wine config and my XF86config that I can think of. I have also tried fresh installs of starcraft, broodwar expansion and the most current patch. I'd appreciate any info on your setup that that game runs fine on. -Thank again, Scott Owens To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
