Thanks, it was really the problem. Program runs now, and even better than before. We upgraded wine because some programs were not getting the keyboard and this problem now seems to be fixed.

Possible regression in CVS wine
Hi! I've just upgraded wine on my son's computer by today's CVS. He tried some games and one of them stopped working. It's hind95 and the game bails out on an illegal instruction - outb, jumping into winedbg. Backtrace shows just 3 levels of game code itself, no dlls involved. I understand that user code cannot perform direct hardware I/O, but the game worked just before the upgrade (on wine about 1 month old). I don't know whether wine is normally intercepting and emulating these instructions, and the CVS version doesn't, or whether a new wine caused that another code path has been activated in the game code, leading to such a problem. There is also native w2k version of the game (hind.exe) but it still doesn't work in wine: it very sow renders the splash screen and then sits there and does nothing more. The game can be freely downloaded from www.abandonia.com; just search "hind" in the title page. There is probably a dynamic download URL used so I'm not posting it there. With regards, Pavel Troller
