@ = files that are on my system but not in the Doc
#  = files that are not in the Doc or on my System ( wineboot ) will be 
in future releases ?


-- dosmod : Deleted as of Jan 2001.

-- fnt2bdf  : Discussed on Wine-Devel ( practically obsolete )

@ notepad : The windows Notepad replacement

@ progman : Program Manager for WINE.

@ regedit : A tool to edit your regestory or for exporting a windows 
registory to Wine.

@ regsvr32 : A program to register .DLL's and .OCX files.

@ uninstaller: A Winelib program to uninstall installed Windows programs.

@ wcmd :  Wine's command line interpreter

@ widl : Wine IDL compiler

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

# wineboot : A Winelib application that's executed by Wine 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.
A list of what it currently does.

         * wininit.ini processing
         * registry RenameFiles entries
         * RunServices* / RunOnce* / Run registry keys


-- winebootup : Now wineboot......

* winebuild : Winebuild is a tool used for 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 : a console program for wine, For running CUI executables 
(Windows console programs), use wineconsole instead of wine run).
Not using wineconsole for CUI programs will only provide  very limited 
console support, and your program might not function properly.

* winedbg : Winedbg is the Wine built in debugger.

@ winedump : A NE and PE file dumper

@ 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 app's over to winelib.

* winelauncher : A wine wrapper shell script that intelligently handles 
wine invocation by informing the user about what's going on,
among other things. To be found in tools/ directory. Use of this wrapper 
script instead of directly using wine is strongly encouraged,
as it not only improves the user interface, but also adds important 
functionality to wine, such as session bootup/startup actions.
If you intend to use this script, then you might want to rename the wine 
executable to e.g. wine.bin and winelauncher to wine. the 
WINECONFDIR/config file.

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 thisit will go analyze your
code, fixing the issues listed above and generate autoconf-based Makefiles.

@ winemine :  A clone of "Windows Minesweeper"

@ winepath : Specifies the path(s) in which to search for builtin dlls 
and Winelib applications.

* wineserver : The Wine server is critical to Wine; it is the process 
that coordinates all shared Windows resources.

-- winesetup : This is a Tcl/Tk based front end that provides a user 
friendly tool to edit and configure the WINECONFDIR/config file.

* 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 : For viewing windows help files

* 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.
