2 .TH WINE 1 "September 1, 1995" "Version 9/1/95" "Windows Emulation"
4 wine \- run Windows programs under Unix
16 invokes the Windows emulator.
19 currently runs a number of games and small applications (approximately
20 half of the applets and common games actually run), although the entire API
21 has not been implemented.
29 contained in the source distribution
35 will run under any Linux kernel more recent than 0.99.13, or
36 under recent releases of NetBSD and FreeBSD.
42 must be installed. (It is probably available from the same site
44 was, or the sources may be FTP'd from ftp.x.org).
48 run "./configure", which will detect your specific setup and create
49 the Makefiles. You can run "./configure --help" to see the available
50 configuration options. Then do "make depend; make" to build the
52 executable, and then "make install" to install it. By default,
54 is installed in /usr/local/bin; you can specify a different path with
55 the --prefix option when running
60 Read only files may be opened in write mode
66 Enter the debugger before starting application
68 .I -debugmsg name[,name]
69 Turn debugging messages on or off - for instance,
70 .I -debugmsg +dll,+heap
71 will turn on DLL and heap debugging messages. The full list is:
72 all, accel, atom, bitblt, bitmap, caret, cdaudio, class, clipboard, clipping,
73 combo, comm, commdlg, crtdll, cursor, dc, dde, dialog, dll, dosfs, driver, edit,
74 env, event, exec, file, fixup, font, gdi, global, graphics, heap, hook, icon,

76 message, metafile, midi, mmio, mmsys, mmtime, module, msg, nonclient, ole,
77 palette, profile, prop, reg, region, relay, resource, scroll, selector,
78 sem, sendmsg, shm, stress, syscolor, task, text, timer, toolhelp, ver, vxd, win,
82 Change the depth to use for multiple-depth screens
85 Use a desktop window of the given geometry
88 Use the specified display
91 Enables/disables built-in DLL's - starting wine with
93 is probably a good idea.
94 The full list of DLLs modifiable by this is:
95 WIN87EM, SHELL, SOUND, KEYBOARD, WINSOCK, STRESS, MMSYSTEM, SYSTEM, TOOLHELP,
96 MOUSE, COMMDLG, OLE2, OLE2CONV, OLE2DISP, OLE2NLS, OLE2PROX, OLECLI, OLESVR,

98 GDI32, LZ32, MPR, NTDLL, OLE32, SHELL32, USER32, VER, VERSION, W32SYS, WINMM,
102 Use a "standard" color map.
110 (one of En, Es, De, No, Fr, Fi, Da, Cz, Eo, It, Ko)
113 Create each top-level window as a properly managed X window
116 Determines the mode in which
118 is started. Possible mode names are
122 Enhanced mode is the default (when no -mode option is specified).
125 Set the application name
128 Use a private color map
131 Turn on synchronous display mode
134 Specify which Windows version WINE should imitate.
135 Possible arguments are: win31, win95 and nt351.
137 .SH PROGRAM/ARGUMENTS
138 The program name may be specified in DOS format (C:\\WINDOWS\\SOL.EXE) or in
139 Linux format (/msdos/windows/sol.exe). The program being executed may be
140 passed arguments by adding them on to the end of the command line invoking
142 (such as: wine "notepad C:\\TEMP\\README.TXT"). Note that
143 the program name and its arguments
145 be passed as a single parameter, which is usually accomplished by placing
146 them together in quotation marks. Multiple applications may be started
147 by placing all of them on the command line (such as: wine notepad clock).
148 .SH CONFIGURATION FILE
150 expects a configuration file (/usr/local/etc/wine.conf), which should
151 conform to the following rules (the format is just like a Windows .ini
152 file). The actual file name may be specified during the execution of
155 script. Alternatively, you may have a
157 file of this format in your home directory.
158 .SH CONFIGURATION FILE FORMAT
159 All entries are grouped in sections; a section begins with the line
163 and continues until the next section starts. Individual entries
164 consist of lines of the form
168 The value can be any text string, optionally included in single or
169 double quotes; it can also contain references to environment variables
172 Supported section names and entries are listed below.
176 This section is used to specify the root directory and type of each
178 drive, since most Windows applications require a DOS/MS-Windows based
179 disk drive & directory scheme. There is one such section for every
180 drive you want to configure.
182 .I format: Path = <rootdirectory>
186 If you mounted your dos partition as
188 and installed Microsoft Windows in
189 C:\\WINDOWS then you should specify
195 .I format: Type = <type>
199 Used to specify the drive type; supported types are floppy, hd, cdrom
202 .I format: Label = <label>
206 Used to specify the drive label; limited to 11 characters.
208 .I format: Serial = <serial>
212 Used to specify the drive serial number, as an 8-character hexadecimal
215 .I format: Filesystem = <fstype>
219 Used to specify the type of the filesystem on which the drive resides;
220 supported types are msdos (or fat), win95 (or vfat), unix. If the
221 drive spans several different filesystems, say unix.
225 .I format: windows = <directory>
229 Used to specify a different Windows directory
231 .I format: system = <directory>
233 default: C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM
235 Used to specify a different system directory
237 .I format: temp = <directory>
241 Used to specify a directory where Windows applications can store
244 .I format: path = <directories separated by semi-colons>
246 default: C:\\WINDOWS;C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM
248 Used to specify the path which will be used to find executables and .DLL's.
250 .I format: symboltablefile = <filename>
254 Used to specify the path and file name of the symbol table used by the built-in
259 .I format: com[12345678] = <devicename>
263 Used to specify the devices which are used as com1 - com8.
267 .I format: lpt[12345678] = <devicename>
271 Used to specify the devices which are used as lpt1 - lpt8.
275 .I format: file = <filename or CON when logging to stdout>
279 Used to specify the file which will be used as
282 .I format: exclude = <message names separated by semicolons>
286 Used to specify which messages will be excluded from the logfile.
288 .I format: include = <message names separated by semicolons>
291 .br Used to specify which messages will be included in the logfile.
292 .SH SAMPLE CONFIGURATION FILE

362 There are too many to count, much less list. Some bugs of note, however,
363 are that programs requiring VBRUNxxx.DLL are unreliable (with reports of
364 some working), OLE is not in place, the internal COMMDLG support is not yet
365 at 100% (although rapidly improving). Color support for other than 8bpp
366 (256 colors) is currently flaky.
368 A partial list of applications known to work with
370 include: sol, cruel, golf, clock, notepad, charmap, calc, and wzip11.
