Hi Ulrich --

WINE is available from the Ubuntu package repository.  If you go into 
the start menu there will be an option to add/remove packages.  If WINE 
doesn't show up there, you may need to enable additional parts of the 
repository for "unsupported" software -- I don't recall if WINE falls 
into that category or not.  The package manager program should allow you 
to enable the additional repositories.  (I'm deliberately being a little 
vague, because I use an Ubuntu variant called Kubuntu which is almost 
identical but uses a different window manager, and thus some of the 
support programs are different.)

One WINE is installed, you can run a program simply by opening a command 
window and typing "wine program_name".  The program has to be installed 
where the system path can find it; if the program has an installer 
program, you can run that and it will install into a virtual "C:" drive 
that WINE maintains as a folder in the .wine configuration directory.

I'll be happy to help you offlist with the setup if you'd like.

73,
John
