I wonder if anyone has tested Win-test under wine on Linux  (and I don't
mean *after* wine!)

 - I'm not sure but perhaps if it works and wine might work on an iMac

<some quick Google-searches later>

Looking at the win-test manual - there are notes on running it in wine on
Linux
http://docs.win-test.com/pdf/downloads/manual.pdf#Install_the_software

But if more people try it and ask questions perhaps the developers will
respond?

I must try it sometime..
