Codeweavers have a value-added version of wine in their crossover product.
It runs Lotus Notes, MS Office, and IE. Other applications will be supported
soon.

FWIW, last night I was trying to get a compiled Foxpro app to run under
Wine and I had to give up.  The app tries to run but I get

err:int21:DOS3Call int21: unknown/not implemented parameters:
int21: AX 440b, BX 0000, CX 0000, DX 0000, SI 0000, DI 0000, DS 0347, ES
03d7
wine: Unhandled exception, starting debugger...

A Google search seemed to indicate that this might have been due to
something that's DOS-related and 16-bit and it may well be that this app
was done in a 16-bit version of Foxpro.  This is just an idle experiment
for me and nothing I really need to dig into deeply, though.

I got the Wine source from www.winehq.com and compiled and installed
it.  Is this code different from what comes from Codeweavers, and, if
so, should I try it instead?  What's the backstory here?
