For the point #1<br>
Did you tried without the "" and the path would more look like $HOME/.wine/drive_c/blablabla<br>

have three problems with wine. Wine set up a pseudo windows directory
system under my home directory/wine. My application resides
in the created 'Program Files' directory and a necessary file placed in
the windows/system directory.<br><br>1. If I click on the
exe and run with wine it works without error. However I seem
unable to set up a path to the exe as in 'wine "drive_c/Program
Files/Airmail/Airmail3.exe"' as the executive can never be
found. I tried all sorts of path combinations and failed.</blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">2. My
application starts with all the wrong fonts. I copied over a
basic set of Windows fonts to my pseudo windows/fonts directory and it
is much better now. Are there limitations to using those
fonts?<br><br>3. And the most seriously prom: my application
required to talk to radio equipment and a special modem via com
ports.Even if I select com1 it comes back and says it is already in use
(it isn't). If I run wine as super user then com1 works but
I lose some default paths and end up losing my fonts and the
application can't find a file in windows/system. The dos
devices directory shows com1 as a link to ttyS1. I suspect I
need to change permissions. All my other com ports are
actually on a USB hub. How can I set up at at least 3 com ports (radio,
gps and modem each require a com port with standard
handshaking). Do I set up (say) com5 as a link to the first
USB port device?<br><br>I never had any problems with VMWare but that defeats the object of trying to ditch Bill Gates products........<br><br>Richard<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>wine-users mailing list
