I'm trying to run a game (Glider 4.0) with wine, but it gives me an error message:
Doing some searching, it seems that it might be related to a missing .DLL file, but if so, I'm not sure which one. Can anyone help?

You mean the game from 1991? Isn't it for DOS? Probably will run in
Dosbox if that's true.

I'm not sure. I could certainly try it (although doesn't wine tell you it's a DOS program?). I used to play it all the time on my old 95 machine, and I never knew anything about it being DOS. Let me try it.

Yes, dosbox tells me that it needs Microsoft Windows to run.
I'm mainly interested in finding out what the error messages means. Is it indeed a missing .DLL??? That might be a good place to start.

The second one comes in a .RAR archive, which I can't seem to open. So no good there.
