It turns out that I know so little that I didn't even know that
I had a DOS binary, not a Windows program and that WINE doesn't
do DOS binaries.  Now, I'm playing with various DOS emulators to
see if I can get this thing working that way.  I'll let you all
know how that goes.  In the mean time, thanks to all those who
assisted me to get this far.
