Ok I'm on the wine users mailing list and if I can indulge I'll post a 
request in this mailing list if you want to get involved. I'll also 
explain the program as best as I can using cut n paste.

<>This is a simple thing that will seriously help wine development.
The wine developers have created a test sistem to check if wine works
like microsoft windows, but more users are needed to run the tests.
A windows service has been created for this task, once installed, it will
download the latest version of the wine tests, run them and send the
results to the winehq server. So if you have a computer running
windows95/98/me/xp/server2003/nt3.51/nt4 then you can really help.
To run the wine tests, download and install the winrash service from
this page http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=103445
thank you, Ivan.

Please try and use it on computers that you will be using.
While it is useful for you to have winrash installed for a while, it's 
better if
you install it on a pc that can keep it
installed indefinitly. You do't have to do anything at all to run 
winrash, it's
an automatic program.

Ivan.


The tests are meant to be invisible, you'll see your results at this address
http://test.winehq.com/data
at the bottom of the page you'll always find the most recent tests. You can
identify the results from your pc
from the userid you used when you installed winrash.

Ivan.


The whole point of winrash is to download and run new tests when they became
available, and upload the results.
It's an anutomatic thing, you won't see anything. You can see the 
results on the
wienhq server, test.winehq.com/data
New tests are released almos every day. Please leave winrash installed 
if you can.

Ivan.




Hope this explains it as best as I can understand.

Regards,

Marc
