Hi Vincent,

Thanks for your reply.

Yep, this WINE build was last used when I wrote an article on WINE
2003-02-18.  I do not see why WINE should not be compatible with a
config file which is only 17 months old though.  Compatibility should be
for the life of a product in use IMO.  If that development time is too
not available for WINE, I can accept that, but non-compatibility with
recent config files like this should be avoided if possible in my view.

I had hoped for an alias, in the same way that "dir" works in nearly all
GNU/Linux distros.

Ok.

Then I guess com2 and com3 were default in the mdk9.0 wine package
"config" file, as I did not add those lines myself.

Please include my email address in replies.

Kind regards
