Re: [orca-list] Wine apps in Orca?

[Petr Bláha <hammet pb seznam cz>]

An what about Wine gaming?
We have discussed it many times here, but i would like to know if there 
are any news, whether the situation is better or not in latest Wine build.
If it is possible to run some titles like Startrek final conflict, Gma 
tank commander, 3d velocity, etc.
