$ wine paint
This seems to be a very old (pre-3.0) Windows executable. Expect crashes,
especially if this is a real-mode binary !
DOSBox version 0.74

The executable (paint/PAINT.EXE) is the Windows 1.0 version of Paint. Wine
properly recognises it as a "very old" Windows executable, but after doing
that, Wine thinks that it is a DOS executable and tries to launch Dosbox.
Dosbox gives the usual message: "This program requires Microsoft Windows." The
lines about the old executable come from Wine while the rest of the lines come
from Dosbox.
