Hi Bahram, thanks a lot for your hint. I'll try it next week and let you know. Thanks again Martin Bahram Alinezhad wrote:

I mean this isn't really important, but I'd like to run freecell.exe from WinME under wine. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<-

I believe it *is* important. As you see, any subject like this attracts someone's or many's attention. Converting EXT3 to DVD (Mpeg2) via YOU or so(!) aren't the only important things ;-)

->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Even under SuSE 9.1 I just could copy the cards.dll into the same directory as freecell.exe, not so under SuSE 9.2 anymore (apparently) or does it work being copied into /usr/lib/wine or /usr/lib/win32 and I even tried to setup an entry in ~/.wine/config.

So, my question: what can I do to get it running again?

Would be nice to get an answer!

Try to run WinXP version of freecell. I could not run the Win98 version (i.e. closer to ME) with wine, but, XP version runs well. You do not have to have Windows XP installed (or any other Windows); Just prepare the file "freecell.exe" and copy it to your linux home directory. Double click on it an choose wine to run it! (I guess you know how to obtain freecell.exe without installing windows.)

If your wine configuration has been destroyed or changed, you can do these:

1- Remove ".wine" directory from your home folder (as you know, it is hidden by default).

2- Run "winecfg" at the command prompt. It has a graphical configuration at the final step. After setting your parameters, press OK.

I recommend download and compile the last version of wine. Wine is being improved very fast and I see dramatic changes from version to version. If I don't mistake, it has a new version per month.

And finally, I encourage you to learn and play linux games as other members said.

But maybe I just should program that into the linux version, shouldn't I?

Well, thanks a lot anyways for your efforts and oppinions :-D Martin <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<-

I think it is good to participate with developers to fixing bugs and adding wishes or patches for linux games. Inside the handbook of any game there is a list of contact addresses as well as developers' emails. Start doing this today and enjoy tomorrow!
