wine.conf newbie problem

[Benton]

I appear to have 'installed' wine correctly and get appropriate output
from 'wine -version'

However, when I try to run solitaire, the following happens.

[root at pato gallun]#   wine -winver win31 -desktop 640*480
/win98/windows/sol.exe
Warning: could not find wine config [Drive x] entry for current working
directory /home/gallun; starting in windows directory.
Warning: /win98/windows/sol.exe not accessible from a DOS drive
Warning: /win98/windows/sol.exe not accessible from a DOS drive
wine: cannot find '/win98/windows/sol.exe'
[root at pato gallun]#

I copied the wine.conf data from the HOWTO and modified the drive C to
/win98 instead of /dos.
The problem appears to be related to the  .conf setup, but I don't even
know how to begin debugging it.

I am currently running another copy of wine which has been hacked by
IBM to run their 'Homeweaver' software. I tried to cannibalize it's
.conf file with no better results.....

In addition to the general usefulness of being able to run Windows apps
in the event that it is necessary, my immediate goal is to run Outlook.

As unpopular as it is, i have searched for an IMAP client on Linux that
provides functionality that I like better and am unable.... Lots of good
looking POP clients promising to add IMAP support, but....  Is anyone
running Outlook on WINE? Are there any special tricks to this that I
should know JIC I get my 'drive' problem taken care of?

TNX,
