It¡¯s a very valid point you make @Iain - didn¡¯t expect anything - just making the comment it would be nice - I¡¯m looking into a dual boot Mac as we speak - that maybe my ticket to nirvana JC

Given that the great majority of their customers use Microsoft Windows they sensibly put their efforts into supporting those users - of course we could ask them to support all the other operating systems and then watch the price
of the items skyrocket as they support and maintain multiple versions of the product for a very small user base.

Thanks for the pointer Dennis. I think the page is suitable for Debian Buster and there are a lot of options that I hadn't seen before as I was looking solely at the winehq web pages.
I will be sticking to the amd64 version (as opposed to ARM based systems used to control my layout software) for Wine so that should avoid architecture conflicts. That said the multiarch option is needed for i386/ 32 bit software.
I will try some things out and hopefully get a screenshot of the errors which may be helpful.
I just wish Digikeijs had Linux (and presumably MacOS) versions for those not wedded to Microsoft.
