What works
Program starts, initial bridge type setup walkthrough, adding joints and members, and load testing animation were fine. I haven't tested everything yet, but everything I've tested has worked - will update if I find anything otherwise.
What does not
Running "out of the box" fails. A workaround involving native DCOM98 was required. See the instructions at http://wiki.winehq.org/NativeDcom.
Workarounds
What was not tested
Probably numerous hidden options. I'll report back after I find them. ;)

Additional Comments
Download the version for Windows 95, 98, NT, ME, and 2000 (not the XP one), and use winecfg to set wine to act as 98, since we're using the DCOM98 subsystem.
