Could you please be a little more specific about what you are looking for? Are you looking to run the milling, accounting, etc software?
Are you speaking of the game Tradewinds?
Please be more specific and provide links where available.

Best Regards,

ZenCarpenter,

You can play the game online at http://www.tradewinds2onlinegame.com/online.html or http://www.arcadetown.com/tradewindslegends/gameonline.asp

I went to install Tradwinds in wine from the owners of the franchise, www.sandlotgames.com and realized that it was sending me to download from WildGames which is part of WildTangent. Now I remember them being classified as adware/spyware for which I am not interested in installing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WildTangent#Controversy

Someone else may be interested in trying to install this software, but due to the risk, I am not. Maybe someone else is willing to try it for you, or you are willing to try it. Most likely you will need IE installed in wine to get it to work. http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page

If you get it working, let us know so that others may learn from your experience.

Thank you for the effort. I think that I'll stick with the online version since I prefer not to use wine and, like you, I don't want anything with ad or spyware.
