| 1433367 | 2017-03-27 07:14:00 | In Fat Dog64 I downloaded "wine.2.0.SFS" which is sitting happily waiting for action. Question is, how do I install Wine? |

I had Wine on Puppy and it ran my brilliant old word processor, "Word Express" which originally came on 3 floppies. Also ran the brilliant Kiwi program "Mail Washer". I will investigate the 32bit compatibility layer. | mzee (3324) | ||
| 1433370 | 2017-03-27 22:54:00 | Both the wine & 32bit layer are added to the loader "successfully" but nothing happens. I can't find any link in the menu for Wine. Maybe I need an earlier version of Wine? |

The path seems to be correct. Have now installed 'VirtualBox', no problems except that when using the wizard to install the 'guest', on page 2 setting the RAM allocation the <NEXT> key is disabled, and can proceed no further. Can't get any sense from 'Oracle'. |
