i have a demo version here. can test myself.
if it does not work standalone, it can never work in fst.
just use a recent wine version.

i mean i still have wine-1.1.5 ... which is totally old.
but since most stuff is working, i did not yet bother to
upgrade.

but i remember someone telling me in 03/04 that old reactor code did quite
strange things, which wine was very likely to not support.
