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, bitblt, bitmap, caret, catch, cdaudio, class, clipboard, clipping,
73 combo, comm, cursor, dc, dialog, dll, dosfs, driver, edit, enum, event, exec,
74 file, fixup, font, gdi, global, graphics, icon, int, key, keyboard, ldt,
75 listbox, local, malloc, mci, mcianim, mciwave, mdi, menu, menucalc, message,
76 metafile, midi, mmio, mmsys, mmtime, module, msg, nonclient, ole, palette,
77 profile, prop, reg, region, relay, resource, scroll, selector, selectors,
78 stress, syscolor, task, text, timer, toolhelp, utility, win, winsock.
81 Change the depth to use for multiple-depth screens
84 Use a desktop window of the given geometry
87 Use the specified display
90 Enables/disables built-in DLL's - starting wine with
92 is probably a good idea.
93 The full list of DLLs modifiable by this is:
94 KERNEL, USER, GDI, WIN87EM, SHELL, SOUND, KEYBOARD, WINSOCK, STRESS, MMSYSTEM,
95 SYSTEM, TOOLHELP, MOUSE, COMMDLG, OLE2, OLE2CONV, OLE2DISP, OLE2NLS, OLE2PROX,
96 OLECLI, OLESVR, COMPOBJ, STORAGE, WINPROCS, DDEML
99 Use a "standard" color map.
107 (one of En, Es, De, No, Fr, Fi, Da, Cz, Eo, It, Ko)
110 Create each top-level window as a properly managed X window
113 Determines the mode in which
115 is started. Possible mode names are
119 Enhanced mode is the default (when no -mode option is specified).
122 Set the application name
125 Use a private color map
128 Turn on synchronous display mode
130 .SH PROGRAM/ARGUMENTS
131 The program name may be specified in DOS format (C:\\WINDOWS\\SOL.EXE) or in
132 Linux format (/msdos/windows/sol.exe). The program being executed may be
133 passed arguments by adding them on to the end of the command line invoking
135 (such as: wine "notepad C:\\TEMP\\README.TXT"). Note that
136 the program name and its arguments
138 be passed as a single parameter, which is usually accomplished by placing
139 them together in quotation marks. Multiple applications may be started
140 by placing all of them on the command line (such as: wine notepad clock).
141 .SH CONFIGURATION FILE
143 expects a configuration file (/usr/local/etc/wine.conf), which should
144 conform to the following rules (the format is just like a Windows .ini
145 file). The actual file name may be specified during the execution of
148 script. Alternatively, you may have a
150 file of this format in your home directory.
151 .SH CONFIGURATION FILE FORMAT
152 All entries are grouped in sections; a section begins with the line
156 and continues until the next section starts. Individual entries
157 consist of lines of the form
161 The value can be any text string, optionally included in single or
162 double quotes; it can also contain references to environment variables
165 Supported section names and entries are listed below.
169 This section is used to specify the root directory and type of each
171 drive, since most Windows applications require a DOS/MS-Windows based
172 disk drive & directory scheme. There is one such section for every
173 drive you want to configure.
175 .I format: Path = <rootdirectory>
179 If you mounted your dos partition as
181 and installed Microsoft Windows in
182 C:\\WINDOWS then you should specify
188 .I format: Type = <type>
192 Used to specify the drive type; supported types are floppy, hd, cdrom
195 .I format: Label = <label>
199 Used to specify the drive label; limited to 11 characters.
201 .I format: Serial = <serial>
205 Used to specify the drive serial number, as an 8-character hexadecimal
208 .I format: Filesystem = <fstype>
212 Used to specify the type of the filesystem on which the drive resides;
213 supported types are msdos (or fat), win95 (or vfat), unix. If the
214 drive spans several different filesystems, say unix.
218 .I format: windows = <directory>
222 Used to specify a different Windows directory
224 .I format: system = <directory>
226 default: C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM
228 Used to specify a different system directory
230 .I format: temp = <directory>
234 Used to specify a directory where Windows applications can store
237 .I format: path = <directories separated by semi-colons>
239 default: C:\\WINDOWS;C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM
241 Used to specify the path which will be used to find executables and .DLL's.
243 .I format: symboltablefile = <filename>
247 Used to specify the path and file name of the symbol table used by the built-in
252 .I format: com[12345678] = <devicename>
256 Used to specify the devices which are used as com1 - com8.
260 .I format: lpt[12345678] = <devicename>
264 Used to specify the devices which are used as lpt1 - lpt8.
268 .I format: file = <filename or CON when logging to stdout>
272 Used to specify the file which will be used as
275 .I format: exclude = <message names separated by semicolons>
279 Used to specify which messages will be excluded from the logfile.
281 .I format: include = <message names separated by semicolons>
284 .br Used to specify which messages will be included in the logfile.
285 .SH SAMPLE CONFIGURATION FILE

355 There are too many to count, much less list. Some bugs of note, however,
356 are that programs requiring VBRUNxxx.DLL are unreliable (with reports of
357 some working), OLE is not in place, the internal COMMDLG support is not yet
358 at 100% (although rapidly improving). Color support for other than 8bpp
359 (256 colors) is currently flaky.
361 A partial list of applications known to work with
363 include: sol, cruel, golf, clock, notepad, charmap, calc, and wzip11.
