@garpu I hope you like it that I kept the multilib build instead of adopting the new WoW64. Even though it's no longer needed to add multilib for a WoW64 binary, some 32bit Windows applications have issues and 16bit Windows applications won't run at all.
Also, adding #multilib to #Slackware is not a hassle at all.

@alien Yah, works great so far. :) Only thing I use WINE for is random GoG stuff and Scrivener/Scapple. I prefer wine for that because your build uses fontforge, so looks a hell of a lot better.

@alien LIterature & Latte used to have a linux port of Scrivener, but it got too much for them to maintain, so they work to keep it working with WINE.

@alien i really don't get the vocal minority on LQN who want to see multilib stripped out. Then again they think you shouldn't game on linux, should never use windows software, etc. They don't want multilib? Nobody's holding a gun to their heads to install it.
