hello there! thanks to all of you who replied to my inquiry about "ies4linux" vs compatibility w/ such "Windows-native" apps as Bradbury "TopStyle", HomeSite, etc...
As Joris stated, IE6 sp1 is available at the MS site. I downloaded my own copy, but i haven't tried it yet because i think i "ruined" my WinE this evening.
HOW? as my UserID (NOT as root), i "re installed" the [.reg] files in the ies4linux "faux directories" (as in a command such as :: [ wine '../win.reg' ]) .
I tried [ yum remove wine ], and then [yum install wine] which went without a hitch, but there's no change in my Primary User (the broken one) HOWEVER, WinE continues to run perfectly under other user accounts, and ROOT.
My QUESTION: How do i "restore" my WinE to a working state for my UserID? (because only UserID is affected) I wish to not destroy my Program Files while "repairing" WinE around it--- if possible.
From the primary UserID only, i can NOT launch [ winecfg.exe ] for
example in terminal, or anything WinE that i can tell. ([while root, and other users were apparently not affected])
please help me to restore my "existing" Program files setup, if possible. it is no "tragedy" if i can not, but i'd like to try. in any event-- i do need to know how to "restore" it, maintaining program files or not.
thank you!! best regards, -JS.

Indeed - ies4linux - don't use Wine folders - on other words - it use winelib but is on other place, where TopStyle and other windows programs don't know to look. I will try to talk with it's developer to suggest him to use an existing Wine installation ( is Wine exist already ).

hi there! I have to wonder if i don't use WinE more than the "average" Fedora Core 5 user. I am forever trying to figure out how to run my old Windows apps here in the linux environment, using your incredible software.
