[wellylug] Re: Trying to locate Wine on my system

[Joseph Booth - Project Services]

At a command prompt try typing "wine" (without the quotes).  I have 
wineX3 from http://www.transgaming.com installed which is great for 
windows games... and generally you just type:
wine <path to program.exe you want to run>
It usually helps if you are in the same directory as the program you 
are running.
try "man wine" and have a read of the manual pages for wine, or have a 
look in the HOWTOs (/usr/share/docs/...) for more info on what you can 
do with wine.  The transgaming version creates a Program files and 
Windows directory and translates a command such as "wine C:/Program 
FIles/ Seti/Seti at Home.exe" to run the windows version of setiathome or 
whatever..  It adds a Wine menu to your KDE/Gnome menu which you can 
click on programs you wanna run seamlessly - not sure if generic wine 
does that tho...
Enjoy!
