Switch Wine Versions for best App support: 'glow'

[homeruniverse]

Hallo wine users,

I just found a (maybe!?) very unkown project for better wine handling. It is named glow (- some GLasses Of Wine) and enables wine users to start their applications with different versions of wine easily. The motivation for this python-script is of course the problem that some satisfactorily supported windows applications does not any longer run so well in later versions of wine. Glow makes it easy to use many wine versions well arranged.

That seems to be very interesting for users who intensively use older windows applications...

The link: http://www.xn--ngel-5qa.de/glow/ (German! - possibly use google-translat or babelfish!?)

I hope some of you can satifsfactory notice glow,
h.

I hope you file bug reports for these programs which nolonger by performing a regression test http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting - it shouldn't be necessary to use old versions of Wine to run programs.

Hmm... of course. I just thought that this program could be a help in practicle all-day use. (I really have no experience how long it takes and how successfull it is to "fix" a regression problem!?)
But you are right. It is necessery to report such a regression. I did not notice this possibility that clear.
