WinRash... Cool idea!

I manage a small network, appx 35 computers on a few different MS OS's. 
Off the top of my head: XP Pro, 2000 pro, 2000 serv, 2000 adv serv, nt4 
serv, 95 & 98.

I will commit to helping wine by running this on as many as I can if 
Dmitry apologizes to us, and especially to Thomas, for his rude attacks 
on our list.

Sincerely,

Royce Mitchell III
