Hi I've downloaded wine-20021107-0.i386.rpm from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/meissner/wine/8.0/ and it works fine with WinZIp and XMLSpy 4.3, but Oracle Designer won't work in Windows 95 mode... Anyway I would like to run Oracle Designer in Windows NT and 2k mode because that's the version I used to use. But when I do a "wine --winver win2000 -- setup.exe" wine returns "Unknown option --winver". Is this a deprecated option or did meissner just decide not to support it?? Can I recompile the source rpm to get the option back? Where do I find a HOWTO rebuild rpms with extra options? /Christian Bjørnbak

--winver is a deprecated option. You need to set it in the configuration file ~/.wine/config, append to this file: [Version] ; Windows version to imitate (win95,win98,winme,nt351,nt40,win2k,winxp,win20,win 30,win31) "Windows" = "win2000" ; DOS version to imitate ;"DOS" = "6.22"
Can I recompile the source rpm to get the option back? Where do I find a HOWTO rebuild rpms with extra options?
See above. Ciao, Marcus

I am new to linux and wine and could do with expert advice and directions. I installed suselinux-8.1 and its version of wine to run win-3.1 programs. I also have 2 dos-win3.1-fat partitions which are `seen' by linux as [c:=/fat-c & d=/fat-d]. They are both rw. The wine setup established a fake dos-win environment in /home [ext3] which it highly recommended be used rather than the /fat-c partition so I will use it rather than /fat-c. I will not use the msdoswin files. 1.I will NOT copy the msdoswin files to the `fake' doswin in /home. Correct? However, the help file is silent on the use of applications and where they should be positioned.. 2. Can I use the applications directly from the /fat-c and /fat-d partitions? or should [must?] I copy them to the fake environment in /home? It would be much more convenient not to copy the applications and run them from where they are now. 3. In either case I would use the output data in the /home environment [ext3] rather than /fat-c or /fat-d. Ok? 4. I also have a dos program I want to run. Is there any way of using Wine to also run dos? thanks
