...and it certainly plays much smoother than with Wine...

Do you notice any problems trying to use Wine after the install (i.e. does it try and share your existing windows "installation"?)

No, i've just had a look, and it all seems to dwell in .cxoffice in the usual place (/home).

It stores the installed programs in 'bottles', one bottle for each installed program, and inside each bottle are desktopdata, drive_c, dosdevices, and windata directories along with some config files, whereas Wine creates one drive C: exactly as though it were a real partition, and then 'installs' the programs there.

I tried to install Kyodai (probably the best Mahjonng game available ), but when i tried to run it, the program exited because of an access violation, which Wine used to do, but now doesn't.
I then fired Kyodai up with Wine, and there was no difference.... it ran perfectly, i am very pleased to say.

Thanks for that info.
