Running v4.8 under wine?

[Grace A Jopling]

Greetings,

I've recently, as in the past week or so, started playing with wine and 
have had some hits and some misses.  I realize that wine is meant to run 
'doze programs, but the version of filePro I have is 4.8 DOS network. 
Is it possible to run fP using wine?  Or is there some other Linux tool 
I'm unaware of that would allow this?  I'm using Ubuntu 5.04.

FWIW, when I tried running fP using wine, here's what I got:

# wine p.exe
