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...

Easy: Get yourself a brain. Tell us, how will you do a good working wine
install with LiveCDs? After all, that is all you have used of linux so far,
if at all. I suspect that you did not even try most of those you claimed to
have tried

Until then, continue to troll in cola and csma

As I said, above:

this comes from the beta nature of KillBill?

If you had asked or checked, or perhaps even just thought about the name,
you would have realized that the KillBill distro comes with Wine.

You are welcome to suspect all sorts of things, just do not hold me
accountable for your errors.

At least I do not follow folks to other groups to flame them... as you have
just done.

There was no "following" neeeded, since I read this group since years

You are just pissed off since now the people here just have to take a short
look into cola or csma and they will know what kind of troll you are

BTW, your "impressive" list of windows software you wanted to run under
Wine: Are you serious? You really want to run that garbage?

How sad you feel the need to troll and flame others.

Do not worry, at least for now I forgive you. I hope that you can forgive
yourself.
