I have installed the wine rpm from the fedora tree onto RH 9.0.  I
have also tried many different wine releases.  They all worked with
notepad, but I have been unable to get IE 4 or above to install and
work.

IE 4 or greater is required by a lot of windows apps.  Without it, you
cannot install the program with wine.

note: this is a window less box.

I even tried copying the native windows .dll's from an XP laptop, but
nothing seems to get IE installed.  It always crashes on install, but
once I did get it installed but it would not run IE.

I want to run the Real-Time Labor guide on Linux and even thought
about purchasing this $300 program, but if I cannot get it to run my
Linux box, screw it.
