[bf1942] :-?

[Reinder P. Gerritsen]

My head is cool 'nuff.

Surely .exe works fine within Wine. But when you are on a mailing list
about linux binary servers, and start talking about using an .exe to
patch the server, it leaves somewhat of a question with me. To me it
seems rather obvious one just can not use .exe (as in windows version
patchs) on a linux binary. But no offence intended anyway.
