Thank you all for all of the positive replies    . I like the sound of WineX but the $15us is a slight problem - that is $27au which I don't have and I also have no way of getting the money into the US. Being 15 has its ups and downs and unfortunately for me this is not very good. I do have a possibility - I can recompile the source code and I also have access to windows machines for files it might need.

I'm sure you could find a free copy of WineX over P2P, IRC or through FTP searches(like oth.net). WineX is open source and is under GPL(I think so don't hold me to this) so it would be perfectly legal to download a free copy of it(even though you aren't obtaining it from the author obviously). It isn't warez if it is GPLed. ;P

Calum:
winex is not open source, neither is it GPL. thank you for your input, zombie, however it is 100% wrong. winex is the proprietary (and suspiciously so) augmented version of the wine project, which does directx emulation in addition to the normal wine stuff. wine on its own is gpl, and is open source, not only that, it's free.

Master of Reality:
i'm pretty sure WineX is open source, though it may not be GPL.

Calum:
open source can mean anything though.

Master of Reality:
you get the source code for it by downloading the cvs for free or when you buy/suscribe for it you shall recieve a tarball with the source code in it.
