Steam has an automatic updating system. Games, and even the steam client will update automatically, if you are connected to the internet.
What seems to be happening to you, is that one of the games (or the actual client) has registered its intent to update, but it cannot, due to offline mode being enabled.
Try enabling online mode, and updating everything. This should negate the need for an update, and fix the problem.
However, if I have read your question wrong, this method will probably not work.
MacPorts
It is possible to install older editions of software using MacPorts. The following article explains how, How to install an older version of a port.
The example given by the article using this notation for the tcl package:
sudo port activate tcl @8.4.16_0
Try this for the wine package:
sudo port activate wine @1.5.8
HomeBrew
Alternatively, consider installing using the HomeBrew project. This article by David Baumgold walks through the steps required, Installing Wine on Mac OS X.
brew is also able to install a specific version of a package, see Homebrew install specific version of formula?
tar.bz2
If you want to manually install wine from the downloaded tar.bz2 source, follow the steps in Wine User Guide: 2.3. Installing Wine from source.
This approach will require installing the Xcode command line tools and dealing with dependencies. Because of this, I highly recommend using brew or another pre-built package approach.
osxwinebuilder
An open source project called osxwinebuilder attempts to ease the process of building wine from source. This project may be helpful as it claims:
The goal of this project is to provide easy-to-use scripts for cleanly
building and installing Wine and its prerequisite software into a
self-contained directory hierarchy on Mac OS X.
Emulators
If you encounter problems compiling from source, consider using a PC emulator such as VMware Fusion, Parallels, or Virtual Box. All these can run Windows on your Mac and thus run Lingea Lexicon 5 for you. In addition, VMware Fusion and Parallels both offer commercial support should you encounter problems.
Best Answer
Issue was that F1, F2 etc were checked as standard function keys under keyboard in system preferences. Unchecked these and now everything is working OK.
