[Wine] WineTools 0.9-II released

[david]

I like WineTools, I certainly wouldn't bother with Wine without it. My 
current employer uses Citrix Metaframe to run Epic Communication's Epic 
software (comprehensive hospital management system). I installed the 
Citrix client under Wine, use IE6 to go to the remote access portal, 
click a Metaframe application, and it works just fine. It's actually 
kind of interesting in a geeky sort of way to be using Linux to run WINE 
to run the Citrix client to remotely use my Windows2000 desktop at the 
office. OR, I can do it like I've done before - use Linux to run Win4Lin 
to run Windows98 to run the Citrix client et al. Wine is MUCH faster!

So whatever I can do to make WineTools better is fine!

The wt I see there seems to be a directory. If I cd to it and run ls, I
get this:

david at eurolap:/usr/local/bin/wt$ ls
3rdParty     gettext.sh.dummy  LICENSE.txt  uninstall
wt-config.reg
chopctrl.pl  icon              listit       winetools-mdk.spec  Xdialog
doc          install           po           winetools.spec
Xdialog.builtin
findwine     INSTALL.txt       scripts      wt0.9jo

The message about Xdialog comes from Konqueror when I try to have it
extract the contents of the .gz file. I don't get that message when I
extract the archive using tar at a command line.

Here's what's in my console when installing and attempting to run 
WineTools using the files extracted using tar:

root at eurolap:/tmp/winetools-0.9jo-II# ./install
Version: winetools-0.9
Release: 0.9
Installing WineTools to /usr/local/winetools...

Start WineTools as *normal* user with "wt". Don't use as root!
root at eurolap:/tmp/winetools-0.9jo-II# exit
exit
david at eurolap:/tmp/winetools-0.9jo-II$ wt
bash: wt: command not found

CDing to /usr/local/winetools and trying it either of these two ways 
does this:

david at eurolap:/usr/local/winetools$ wt
bash: wt: command not found
david at eurolap:/usr/local/winetools$ ./wt
bash: ./wt: No such file or directory

It runs successfully if I do this:
david at eurolap:/usr/local/winetools$ ./wt0.9jo
detecting Wine version... done.

Before trying all this, I went to your site and downloaded a fresh copy, 
just in case something had gotten corrupted the last time I downloaded it.

Hope that helps.
