Testing Mepis 8.5 (Debian Lenny).

As sometimes happens, TR4W does not come up at all. however...

Circumvention remains the same.
If I put the CFG file (contest specific) into the SAME DIRECTORY that tr4w.exe
is located in and execute from terminal command
wine tr4w.exe NCCC-SPRINT.CFG

TR4W comes right up. I would surmise there is some sort of access problem.
Where the program cannot find the CFG folder that is normally located right
under him.
Eg, ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/TR4w is location of tr4w.exe and
~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/TR4w/2010 NCCC-SPRINT N4AF is the directory
containing the actual CFG file. Moving the CFG file into the same directory as
TR4W.EXE works. 

I cannot seem to make -
wine tr4w /2010\ NCCC-SPRINT\ N4AF/NCCC-SPRINT.CFG 
work. but if I rename the directory to, say, NCCC-SPRINT
wine tr4w /NCCC-SPRINT/NCCC-SPRINT.CFG also works.

I have not been able to modify the icon command to make the above work-
I see tr4w.exe in the process list but cannot get it to display any data and
must kill the process.
Hope this helps.

Howie

NOTE: the way tr4w.exe program works is specific to the contest that is
selected. I config file is built into the contest specific directory that gives
basic info to the executable. 
An example of the generated config file for NCCC-SPRINT.CFG is
;Created by TR4W v.4.219

MY CALL=N4AF
MY STATE=NC
MY NAME=AL
CATEGORY-BAND=ALL
CATEGORY-MODE=CW
CATEGORY-OPERATOR=SINGLE-OP
CATEGORY-POWER=LOW
CONTEST=NCCC-SPRINT

My only point being the program needs this CFG info to initialize and it would
appear he does not know how to find it under Wine.
