Partial success report: Toshiba 220CDS electronic manual

is an "online manual" for the Toshiba 220CDS laptop.
I unzipped it with Linux unzip, then ran its setup and
the app itself with Wine20020605-2 from Red Hat 8.
Both ran acceptably well, although I did get a few warnings
like:

err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x4011a4a8 "../../scheduler/syslevel.c: Win16Mutex" 
wait timed out, retrying (60 sec) tid=08078300
fixme:scroll:ScrollBarWndProc Unimplemented style SBS_SIZEBOX.

and there were display anomolies (mostly, areas of the
window not being cleared, so old text piled up).

Also, I had to grep through the registry for 'toshiba' to
see where the darn thing installed itself.

I'm looking forward to trying with a more modern wine,
but don't have time at the moment.

Case of Guiness offered (was: Re: Partial success report: Toshiba 220CDS electronic manual)

OK, I tried the same app with a freshly compiled Wine20021125.
The results are no better.
The commandline to run the program is
    cd c/docs
    wine toshdoc.EXE

With either version of Wine, clicking around for a while
locks the app up.  (e.g. clicking on the big red Right Arrow
10-15 times locks it up).

Plus the display artifacts (text being overwritten without being cleared)
are still there.

Wow, I'm really striking out running either the 16 bit or 32 bit version
of this old app (see my other post today).
Both are freely downloadable... I'd gladly buy
a case of Guiness for anyone who contributed patches to the Wine
tree that got either of these apps running cleanly.
I sadly don't have time to do much more than test.
