Is there a reason the man page does not state that?

Until it is it would be very useful to have it documented.
is there a reason the man page does not state it is not required anymore?
Presently it states "wine expects a configuration file"

So how can I set the winver when I run an program from the command prompt?

Does the case not matter?
err:wave:DSDB_MapBuffer Could not map sound device for direct access
(Input/output error)
err:wave:DSDB_MapBuffer Use: "HardwareAcceleration" = "Emulation" in the
[dsound] section of your config file
^^ had to turn this back on.
then there was sound again, so I could not test.
please include my email address in replies.
Kind regards
