Has anybody succeeded in getting a version of Sopcast newer that 3.0.3 to work in Wine. I am thinking of installing Wine even though it is complicated but hope it will work with the latest version. Can anyone help please?

The newest version listed in the AppDB is 3.0.3, and the test results for that are pretty old. You'll just have to try it and find out.

What makes you think installing Wine is complicated? Most people just use their distro's package.

Distro packages are something Linux users have. There are none for the Mac, so yes, if you're on a Mac it is more complicated. You might want to take a look at some of the third party Wine apps; just be aware that they are not supported here. http://wiki.winehq.org/ThirdPartyApplications

You can use either MacPorts or Fink to install Wine as well. These
programs require the installation of XCode, which is on the Snow
Leopard/Lion distribution disk and is available from Apple as well.
