Also, to check winetricks you can type in ./winetricks. You will get a
rather lengthy dialog box with all of the options for winetricks. If
you get an error, such as 'unable to execute winetricks' then you will
have to use the chmod program to set the execute bit like so:
chmod u+x winetricks
and then run the command a second time.
