----------------

notepad : The windows Notepad replacement.

progman : A Program Manager replacement.

regedit : A command-line tool to edit your registry or for important a 
windows registry to Wine.

regsvr32 : A program to register/unregister .DLL's and .OCX files. Only 
works on those dlls that can self-register.

uninstaller: A program to uninstall installed Windows programs. Like the 
Add/Remove Program in the windows control panel.

wcmd :  Wine's command line interpreter, a cmd.exe replacement.

widl : Wine IDL compiler compiles (MS-RPC and DCOM) Interface Definition 
Language files.

wine :  The main Wine executable. This program will load a Windows 
binary and run it, relying upon the Wine shared object libraries.

wineboot : This program is executed on startup of the first wine process 
of a particular user.wineboot won't automatically run when needed. 
Currently you have to manually run it after you install something.

winebuild : Winebuild is a tool used for building Winelib applications 
(and by Wine itself) to allow a developer to compile a .spec file into a 
.spec.c file.

wineclipserv : The Wine Clipboard Server is a standalone XLib 
application whose purpose is to manage the X selection when Wine exits.

wineconsole : The purpose of wineconsole is to render the output of CUI 
programs.

winedbg : A application making use of the debugging API to allow 
debugging of Wine or Winelib applications as well as Wine itself (kernel 
and all DLLs).

winedump : Dumps the imports and exports of NE and PE (Portable 
Executable) files.

winefile : A clone of the win3x filemanager.

winegcc/wineg++: Wrappers for gcc/g++ respectively, to make them behave 
as MinGW's gcc. Used for porting apps over to winelib.

winemaker : Winemaker is a perl script which is designed to help you 
bootstrap the conversion of your Windows projects to Winelib. In order 
to do this it will go analyze your code, fixing the issues listed above 
and generate autoconf-based Makefiles.

winemine :  A clone of "Windows Minesweeper" a demo WineLib app.

winepath :  A tool for converting between Windows paths and Unix paths 
(useful for shell scripts and such).

wineserver : The Wine server is the process that manages resources, 
coordinates threads, and provides synchronization and interprocess 
communication primitives to Wine processes.

wineshelllink : This shell script can be called by Wine in order to 
propagate Desktop icon and menu creation requests out to a GNOME or KDE 
(or other Window Managers).

winewrap : Takes care of linking winelib applications. Linking with 
winelib is a complex process, winewrap makes it simple.

winhelp : A Windows Help replacement.

wmc : Wine Message Compiler it allows Windows message files to be 
compiled into a format usable by Wine.

wrc : Wine Resource Compiler. It allows Winelib programmers (and Wine 
itself) to compile Windows style resource files into a form usable by Wine.
