Well, I'm getting somewhere. I popped in the CD, nautilus displayed its 
contents, I right-clicked setup.exe, chose "Open with Wine Windows 
Emulator", installed Starcraft. I had my son try it out. He showed me 
that 'Single Player' is working, but when he goes to 'Multi-Player' > 
'Battle.Net a little box popped up but minus the status bar which shows 
it is downloading stuff. This box (which does not give us the status 
bar) then disappears. Isn't .Net an MS technology - would it be stupid 
to expect it to work in linux?

It was exciting to hear the sound and see the installation and 
everything. I'm getting close...

There was a Direct Cable Connection option - maybe I'll try that...
