getting started with wine on debian/w2k

Dear all,

I'm having some problems getting my wine installation running Windows 
apps.  I'm trying to run a couple of commercial stats packages - Minitab 
and Genstat: Minitab will run OK but not do graphs, Genstat won't even 
launch properly.

I've read the FM; any pointers to other tutorial material on Wine would 
be appreciated.  Best would be any advice on what might be wrong with my 
set up and how I could fix it.

I'm running debian GNU/Linux 'mixed' (i.e. bits of stable, unstable & 
testing), dual-booted with Windows 2000 "Pro".  The version of Wine I 
have is 20030115 (I used the .deb).  When running wine I have the 
Windows partition mounted umask=000.

With the default config settings I wasn't getting anywhere, so I've 
edited my config file like this:

[Drive C]
"Path" = "/mnt/"
"Type" = "hd"
"Label" = "/home/ivan/.wine/fake_windows"
"Filesystem" = "win95"

[wine]
"Windows" = "C:\\winnt"
"System" = "C:\\winnt\\system"
"Temp" = "X:\\"
"Path" = "C:\\winnt;C:\\winnt\\system;X:\\;Y:\\"
"Profile" = "\\Documents and Settings\\ivan"


* minitab

Gets into an expect deadlock when Minitab tries to produce graphs:

...
err:win32:_EnterSysLevel (0x40a07e18, level 2): Holding 0x40ab3984, 
level 3. Expect deadlock!
err:win32:_EnterSysLevel (0x40a07e18, level 2): Holding 0x40ab3984, 
level 3. Expect deadlock!
err:win32:_EnterSysLevel (0x40a07e18, level 2): Holding 0x40ab3984, 
level 3. Expect deadlock!
...


* genstat (running from windows or  locally)

I get the splash screen and an empty window then everything freezes:

ivan at debian:~$ wine c:\\g541stu\\bin\\genwin41.exe
When you are running with a native NT directory specify
'Profile=<profiledirectory>' or disable loading of Windows
registry (LoadWindowsRegistryFiles=N)

<genstat splash screen appears now>

err:winspool:WINSPOOL_OpenDriverReg win32 style printing used with 16 
bits app, try specifying 'win95' Windows version
err:winspool:AddPrinterDriverA Can't create Drivers key
err:winspool:WINSPOOL_LoadSystemPrinters Failed adding PS Driver (127)
fixme:class:get_class_ptr reading from class of other process window 0x10025

<genstat server window appears now>
<on Ctrl-C: empty 'c:\g541stu\bin' window appears>


Best wishes

Ivan
