Nonsense! RunRev 4.0 runs superbly under WINE 1.3.2 except for the PNG 
rendering; which basically means it mucks
any images with transparent sections and renders PNGs as black 
artifacts. As such this is not fatal unless you are
badly hung up on PNG images (which I am).

I have just submitted a note about just this in the WINE forums (err . . 
. 'fora' . . . ???).
