2 .TH WINE 1 "June 29, 1995" "Version 6/20/95" "Windows Emulation"
4 wine \- run Windows 3.x programs under Linux
16 invokes the Linux 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 ask for configuration information and
49 create the Makefiles, then run "make".
53 Change the depth to use for multiple-depth screens
56 Use a desktop window of the given geometry
59 Use the specified display
65 Enter the debugger before starting application
68 Set the application name
71 Use a private color map
74 Turn on synchronous display mode
80 Turn on message spying to the specified file
82 .I -debugmsg name[,name]
83 Turn debugging messages on or off - for instance,
84 .I -debugmsg +dll,+heap
85 will turn on DLL and heap debugging messages. The full list is:
86 all, accel, bitblt, bitmap, caret, catch, cdaudio, class, clipboard, clipping,
87 combo, comm, cursor, dc, dialog, dll, dosfs, driver, edit, enum, event, exec,
88 file, fixup, font, gdi, global, graphics, icon, int, key, keyboard, ldt,
89 listbox, local, malloc, mci, mcianim, mciwave, mdi, menu, menucalc, message,
90 metafile, midi, mmio, mmsys, mmtime, module, msg, nonclient, ole, palette,
91 profile, prop, reg, region, relay, resource, scroll, selector, selectors,
92 stress, syscolor, task, text, timer, toolhelp, utility, win, winsock.
95 Enables/disables built-in DLL's - starting wine with
97 is probably a good idea.
98 The full list of DLLs modifiable by this is:
99 KERNEL, USER, GDI, WIN87EM, SHELL, SOUND, KEYBOARD, WINSOCK, STRESS, MMSYSTEM,
100 SYSTEM, TOOLHELP, MOUSE, COMMDLG, OLE2, OLE2CONV, OLE2DISP, OLE2NLS, OLE2PROX,
101 OLECLI, OLESVR, COMPOBJ, STORAGE, WINPROCS, DDEML
104 Read only files may be opened in write mode
107 Starts wine in Enhanced mode (not guaranteed to work yet)
109 .SH PROGRAM/ARGUMENTS
110 The program name may be specified in DOS format (C:\\WINDOWS\\SOL.EXE) or in
111 Linux format (/msdos/windows/sol.exe). The program being executed may be
112 passed arguments by adding them on to the end of the command line invoking
114 (such as: wine "notepad C:\\TEMP\\README.TXT"). Note that
115 the program name and its arguments
117 be passed as a single parameter, which is usually accomplished by placing
118 them together in quotation marks. Multiple applications may be started
119 by placing all of them on the command line (such as: wine notepad clock).
120 .SH CONFIGURATION FILE
122 expects a configuration file (/usr/local/etc/wine.conf),
123 which should conform to the following rules. The actual file name may
124 be specified during the execution of the
126 script. Alternatively, you may have a
128 file of this format in your home directory.
129 .SH CONFIGURATION FILE FORMAT
132 .I format: <driveletter> = <rootdirectory>
136 This section is used to specify the root directory of each
138 drive, since most Windows applications require a DOS/MS-Windows based
139 disk drive & directory scheme.
141 If you mounted your dos partition as
143 and installed Microsoft Windows in
144 C:\\WINDOWS then you should specify
146 in the drives section.
150 .I format: windows = <directory>
154 Used to specify a different Windows directory
156 .I format: system = <directory>
158 default: C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM
160 Used to specify a different system directory
162 .I format: temp = <directory>
166 Used to specify a directory where Windows applications can store
169 .I format: path = <directories separated by semi-colons>
171 default: C:\\WINDOWS;C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM
173 Used to specify the path which will be used to find executables and .DLL's.
175 .I format: symboltablefile = <filename>
179 Used to specify the path and file name of the symbol table used by the built-in
184 .I format: com[12345678] = <devicename>
188 Used to specify the devices which are used as com1 - com8.
192 .I format: lpt[12345678] = <devicename>
196 Used to specify the devices which are used as lpt1 - lpt8.
200 .I format: file = <filename or CON when logging to stdout>
204 Used to specify the file which will be used as
207 .I format: exclude = <message names separated by semicolons>
211 Used to specify which messages will be excluded from the logfile.
213 .I format: include = <message names separated by semicolons>
216 .br Used to specify which messages will be included in the logfile.
230 system=c:\\windows\\system
234 path=c:\\windows;c:\\windows\\system;c:\\winapps\\word
236 symboltablefile=/usr/local/lib/wine.sym

274 There are too many to count, much less list. Some are of note, however:
275 Any Windows program using Visual Basic (VBRUNxxx.DLL) will not run yet,
276 nor will any program depending on undocumented functions or on the
277 COMMDLG (any standard file open/save interface) unless you disable the
278 internal COMMDLG with the
280 option. In addition, 16-color support is imperfect at best, and
281 icons sometimes display improperly on some systems. Certain
282 multi-language modules will not load properly. Progress is being made
285 Currently, no directories in the path can have upper-case letters in them
286 (ex. /msdos/driveC), as the conversions necessary to handle the msdos
287 filename conventions currently cause them to be lost.
289 A partial list of applications known to work with
291 include: sol, cruel, golf.exe, clock, notepad, charmap, and calc.
