It is my understanding that wine might also be used to run some MSDOS apps on Linux? Under DOS/WIN environment, I have software that was initially installed on network drive "J" and will only run from that drive. I have successfully (and legally) run this software on a non-networked DOS/WIN machine by creating a local directory that is a copy of "drive J", then using "subst" command to make drive "J" point to a local directory; then make drive "J" the current directory, then invoke program. If I attempt to run software from any other "working directory", the software fails. Under SUS93, I figured out how to create a "drive J" in wine (using ln -s), but I don't know how to make "J" the current/working drive/directory before invoking the DOS app. Any ideas how to properly invoke this app under Linux?
cd ~/.wine/dosdevices ln -s /what/ever/directory j: and now drive j: points to the installation. Ciao, Marcus
