    I checked one game only ..... but suspect others are similar .....

    Persian Puzzle is Freeware ... I could find no links to its source code being open .....

    For future reference... since it's not open source related, the unix forum which include linux it would be more appropriate.

    Moving...

    cheers for that croo, i just presumed that wine being an open source app it would be the right place to post. thanks for clearing that up it's confusing.

    fair point. I guess people where thinking about the games rather than wine per se....

    @croo
    no hassle man, anything that helps people use linux is a plus in my book.
    i set up my girlfriend's laptop recently and she loves iwin games jewel quest etc, and i was glad to find the site at the time and hopefully someone else will get some use out of em too. cheers
