Well, so far, I have managed, with a LOT of help from what I have found on the forum, to install what appears to be a working WINE on my 13.1 system, but have not yet been able to install a favorite Windows 32 bit application.
The application is Pegasus e-mail client, w32-480.exe since I am very familiar with that, having used it, in its various versions, for some 30 years now.
I have created a 32-bit WINE prefix with the command"
Although the prefix is created, apparently, correctly, I keep getting what I assume are several errors, all of which are preceded by "fixme".
I am assuming most/all of those are simply informational, but there are a couple of others which I think are more important. These are:
1)
2)
So, since I am not sure what to do about that kernel32.dll, I then go ahead and copy w32-480.exe from my Download directory into my Pegasus directory, and attempt to install it with the

In addition to searching the forum for anything concerning WINE, and reading it all, I have downloaded and printed off the WINE FAQ, and the Wine Users Guide, and searched all of those for a clue about this, but I have not yet found a solution.
Anyone have any ideas?
At this point, I am thinking that my problem probably lies with PF.

1)
get_addrinfo Failed to resolve your host name IP
, which, I assume is caused by pf and can, possibly, be safely ignored.2)
wine: could not load kernel32.dll, status c0000135
