Ok, I have been to the Wine home page and done research, but I still am
stuck... have been playing with WINE, and it does not seem to work well - if
at all - at least not based on what I can find out about it.
First, I am using it on the SLAX KillBill distro, so perhaps some of this
comes from the beta nature of KillBill? But when I try to run almost any
program with Wine, it simply starts to launch and then quits with no error
message.
Here are just some of the programs I tried (with full command to see if I
goofed somewhere... and commentary after... ):
wine /mnt/disc0part1/windows/sol.exe - yes, but so poorly it cannot be used
wine /mnt/disc0part1/windows/pbrush.exe - no - no errors
wine /mnt/disc0part1/windows/notepad.exe - yes
wine /mnt/disc0part1/windows/winfile.exe - no - lists errors
wine /mnt/disc0part1/windows/winfile.exe - no - lists errors
wine /mnt/disc0part1/windows/ping.exe - no - lists errors
wine /mnt/disc0part1/quickenw/qw.exe - no - lists errors
wine /mnt/disc0part1/windows/Desktop/Michael/TextShield.exe -
no, lists errors
wine /mnt/disc0part1/ExamView2/evplay.exe - yes, but with visual errors
wine /mnt/disc0part1/ExamView2/evpro.exe - yes, but with visual errors
wine /mnt/disc0part1/ttwin/ttwin.exe - opened a typing tutor!
wine /mnt/disc0part1/Office52/program/soffice.exe - yes
I did try a few of those with a shortcut I assumed would work (it did the
same thing). The shortcut was to right click on the program in question,
select Open With, and then have it open with Wine. I assume that is the
same thing, but since the manual / FAQ's do not suggest it, I tried all of
the above as written...
As far as the ones listed above where I say it lists errors, the errors were
the lists of DLL's that the program needed...
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated...
