I thought it might be handy for some of you to know which portable apps are known to definitely work with WINE & Puppy.bearing in mind that this can be a bit of a lottery, and use of the WineHQ database is strongly recommended. WINE functionality often 'breaks' between versions regressions are not at all uncommon, although the WINE Project are steadily getting better at this, release by release). (Don't forget, this is something that requires a wee bit of experimenting. In my case, this happens to be WINE 1.7.51. I can't speak for the more recent offerings (I use those compiled by version2013), since, like many people, I've settled on the one version of WINE that works for me. In the last couple of years, I've discovered that many of the apps/programs offered at will happily run under many versions of WINE. Either that, or you're so used to using a particular application in Windows that's it's more hassle than it's worth to learn the Linux equivalent. Despite Linux having an equivalent for pretty much anything that Windows offers, there's still the odd occasion when you want to do something for which there is no direct equivalent.
