Hi Steven,

The 64 bit version is suppose to work with 32 bit apps:

http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-53474b6887d5ea543ddba8331734bf54a8cbe60d

       "2.5. Is there a 64 bit Wine?

        Yes. 64 bit Wine has been available on Linux since 1.2, and
        most major distros now package it for users. Normally,
        installation should be as simple as installing the Wine
        package for your distribution through your package manager.
        Check the Downloads page.

        A couple of things to note:

        32 bit Wine runs on both 32-bit and 64-bit Linux/Unix
        installations. 16-bit and 32-bit Windows applications will
        run on it.

        64-bit Wine runs only on 64 bit installations, and at present
        only on Linux. It requires the installation of 32 bit libraries
        in order to run 32 bit Windows applications. Both 32-bit and
        64-bit Windows applications (should) work with it; however,
        there are still many bugs.

Maybe I am missing the "32 bit libraries"?  I wonder where in the
world would I get these?
