Additional Comments
This version came without an installer or any of the question files for some reason. Possibly badly packaged. WINEARCH=win32

You must run WinPolis.exe from the correct directory or it will not be able to find the questions or mail files.
In a 32-bit WINEPREFIX:
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/WinPolis
wine WinPolis.exe
The Manual.hlp help file is not found by the game. This occurs on Windows too and is a bug in the game.
The uninstaller also fails to find files. This occurs on Windows also.
