.SH NAME
wine \- run Windows 3.x programs under Linux
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B wine
[
.I options
]
.I program_name
[
.I arguments
]
.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 detect your specific setup and create
the Makefiles. You can run "./configure --help" to see the available
configuration options. Then do "make depend; make" to build the
.B wine
executable.

.PD 1
.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.

This man page is maintained by Mike Phillips (msphil@facstaff.wm.edu), so 
please send all corrections, comments, flames, etc., to him.
.SH BUGS
There are too many to count, much less list.  Some bugs of note, however,
are that programs requiring VBRUNxxx.DLL are unreliable (with reports of
some working), OLE is not in place, the internal COMMDLG support is not yet
at 100% (although rapidly improving).  Color support for other than 8bpp
(256 colors) is currently flaky.
.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
include: sol, cruel, golf, clock, notepad, charmap, calc, and wzip11.
