Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Well, at the wine I've installed, it created a hidden folder at /home/user called .wine
Get into the folder with cd .wine and inside there, there's a "c" directory and there is the so called fake windows partition. You should be able to see the program you installed in there and run it's executable with wine <executable name>
XavierP is right. Try google for the dll. There are plenty of repositories around with dll's for you to download . If you have a win98 installation then you are set, simply copy *.dll to your fake c:\sytem drive and you are set. Remember though, Win2000/NT/XP dll's usually don't work right with wine :S
I got powertab to work fine on Slackware 9.1 but when I try to play a file, it says... The current MIDI setup is damaged. Copy the original MIDIMAP.CFG file to WIndows System Directory, and then try again.
