command to load an app from a CDROM into Wine on the system drive
Heading says it all. I have Wine on the TW system and working (SimiliBridge game) but I'm not sure how to set up an app from the CDROM into a Wine system. (It's an old DOS-based cad program that I own the original disk for.) Thanx--doug

not sure wine is a good option. Try dosbox or playonlinux jdd -- http://dodin.org

if its not copy protected and if its a windows game and you would like to use the standart wine prefix (take care, if you have installed other things with wine it could brake these) simply use: wine steupprogrammofyourgame (from the folder where the setupprogramm of your game is.) if you would like to create a new wine prefix for old games in 32 bit use:: env WINEPREFIX="/home/yourhome/.win32-test" env WINEARCH=win32 winecfg now navigate to "desktop integration" remove the checkbox "mime-types" (to do not interfer with your system) then env WINEPREFIX="/home/yourhome/.win32-test" env WINEARCH=win32 wine setupprogrammofyourgame this will create a invisible folder .wine32-test where only your game is installed in. to start the game, maybe you have a desktop symbol or you have to: env WINEPREFIX="/home/yourhome/.win32-test" env WINEARCH=win32 wine startexeofyourgame inside the folder where your programm was installed in, moste somwhere here: .wine-test/drive_c/Program Files/folderofyourprg/startnameofyourprg simoN if its da dos game wine would maybe not run it. -- www.becherer.de
