| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .B wine |
| invokes the Linux Windows emulator. |
| .PP |
| .B wine |
| currently runs a number of games and small applications (approximately |
| half of the applets and common games actually run), although the entire API |
| has not been implemented. |
| .PP |
| See the files |
| .B README, |
| .B ChangeLog, |
| .B Configure, |
| and the |
| .B Makefile |
| contained in the source distribution |
| to compile |
| .B wine. |
| .SH REQUIREMENTS |
| At present, |
| .B wine |
| will run under any Linux kernel more recent than 0.99.13, or |
| under recent releases of NetBSD and FreeBSD. |
| .PP |
| .B X |
| must be installed. |
| .PP |
| .B libXpm |
| must be installed. (It is probably available from the same site |
| .B wine |
| was, or the sources may be FTP'd from ftp.x.org). |
| .SH INSTALLATION |
| To install |
| .B wine, |
| run "./Configure", which will ask for configuration information and |
| create the Makefiles, then run "make". |

| .SH PROGRAM/ARGUMENTS |
| The program name may be specified in DOS format (C:\\WINDOWS\\SOL.EXE) or in |
| Linux format (/msdos/windows/sol.exe). The program being executed may be |
| passed arguments by adding them on to the end of the command line invoking |
| .B wine |
| (such as: wine "notepad C:\\TEMP\\README.TXT"). Note that |
| the program name and its arguments |
| .I must |
| be passed as a single parameter, which is usually accomplished by placing |
| them together in quotation marks. Multiple applications may be started |
| by placing all of them on the command line (such as: wine notepad clock). |
| .SH CONFIGURATION FILE |
| .B wine |
| expects a configuration file (/usr/local/etc/wine.conf), |
| which should conform to the following rules. The actual file name may |
| be specified during the execution of the |
| .B Configure |
| script. Alternatively, you may have a |
| .I .winerc |
| file of this format in your home directory. |
| .SH CONFIGURATION FILE FORMAT |
| .B [drives] |
| .br |
| .I format: <driveletter> = <rootdirectory> |
| .br |
| default: none |
| .br |
| This section is used to specify the root directory of each |
| .B DOS |
| drive, since most Windows applications require a DOS/MS-Windows based |
| disk drive & directory scheme. |
| .br |
| If you mounted your dos partition as |
| .I /dos |
| and installed Microsoft Windows in |
| C:\\WINDOWS then you should specify |
| .I c=/dos |
| in the drives section. |

| .SH BUGS |
| There are too many to count, much less list. Some are of note, however: |
| Any Windows program using Visual Basic (VBRUNxxx.DLL) will not run yet, |
| nor will any program depending on undocumented functions or on the |
| COMMDLG (any standard file open/save interface) unless you disable the |
| internal COMMDLG with the |
| .I -dll -commdlg |
| option. In addition, 16-color support is imperfect at best, and |
| icons sometimes display improperly on some systems. Certain |
| multi-language modules will not load properly. Progress is being made |
| regularly, however. |
| .PP |
| Currently, no directories in the path can have upper-case letters in them |
| (ex. /msdos/driveC), as the conversions necessary to handle the msdos |
| filename conventions currently cause them to be lost. |
| .PP |
| A partial list of applications known to work with |
| .B wine |
