[Wine] MSWord97 installs properly but still won't launch (or save?) -- 3 more data files

[Ekkehard Flessa]

Hi Benjamin!


BS>I then typed wincfg and selected Win98, clicked on OK and exited. I
BS>then typed on the command line in the console:

This one I didn't. I left everything on standard, including the 
emulated windows version (2000). I don't know which (if any) fonts 
come with the wine RPM version for SUSE 10.0 I'm using.

Anyway, word97 works for me, and opens existing documents just 
fine. But entering fileneames to store some document with a new name 
is messy. Entering "test" would save a file named "t.doc"...
There are a couple "fixme:" and "err:" also when launched from the 
console.


BS>And when I try to do this in the console I face the insurmountable
BS>problem of how to get past the directory "Program Files" (i.e. the
BS>empty space between "program" and "files").

This problem I don't encounter, as I'm on a german system. There, this 
folder is simply called "Programme" :-)

In the console, it's best to cd into the path where winword.exe is, 
and type "wine winword.exe" there.


With best regards
Ekkehard
