2 .TH WINE 1 "September 1, 1995" "Version 9/1/95" "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 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
56 Change the depth to use for multiple-depth screens
59 Use a desktop window of the given geometry
62 Use the specified display
68 Enter the debugger before starting application
73 (one of En, Es, De, No, Fr, Fi, Da)
76 Create each top-level window as a properly managed X window
79 Set the application name
82 Use a private color map
85 Turn on synchronous display mode
91 Turn on message spying to the specified file
93 .I -debugmsg name[,name]
94 Turn debugging messages on or off - for instance,
95 .I -debugmsg +dll,+heap
96 will turn on DLL and heap debugging messages. The full list is:
97 all, accel, bitblt, bitmap, caret, catch, cdaudio, class, clipboard, clipping,
98 combo, comm, cursor, dc, dialog, dll, dosfs, driver, edit, enum, event, exec,
99 file, fixup, font, gdi, global, graphics, icon, int, key, keyboard, ldt,
100 listbox, local, malloc, mci, mcianim, mciwave, mdi, menu, menucalc, message,
101 metafile, midi, mmio, mmsys, mmtime, module, msg, nonclient, ole, palette,
102 profile, prop, reg, region, relay, resource, scroll, selector, selectors,
103 stress, syscolor, task, text, timer, toolhelp, utility, win, winsock.
106 Enables/disables built-in DLL's - starting wine with
108 is probably a good idea.
109 The full list of DLLs modifiable by this is:
110 KERNEL, USER, GDI, WIN87EM, SHELL, SOUND, KEYBOARD, WINSOCK, STRESS, MMSYSTEM,
111 SYSTEM, TOOLHELP, MOUSE, COMMDLG, OLE2, OLE2CONV, OLE2DISP, OLE2NLS, OLE2PROX,
112 OLECLI, OLESVR, COMPOBJ, STORAGE, WINPROCS, DDEML
115 Read only files may be opened in write mode
118 Starts wine in Enhanced mode (not guaranteed to work yet)
120 .SH PROGRAM/ARGUMENTS
121 The program name may be specified in DOS format (C:\\WINDOWS\\SOL.EXE) or in
122 Linux format (/msdos/windows/sol.exe). The program being executed may be
123 passed arguments by adding them on to the end of the command line invoking
125 (such as: wine "notepad C:\\TEMP\\README.TXT"). Note that
126 the program name and its arguments
128 be passed as a single parameter, which is usually accomplished by placing
129 them together in quotation marks. Multiple applications may be started
130 by placing all of them on the command line (such as: wine notepad clock).
131 .SH CONFIGURATION FILE
133 expects a configuration file (/usr/local/etc/wine.conf),
134 which should conform to the following rules. The actual file name may
135 be specified during the execution of the
137 script. Alternatively, you may have a
139 file of this format in your home directory.
140 .SH CONFIGURATION FILE FORMAT
143 .I format: <driveletter> = <rootdirectory>
147 This section is used to specify the root directory of each
149 drive, since most Windows applications require a DOS/MS-Windows based
150 disk drive & directory scheme.
152 If you mounted your dos partition as
154 and installed Microsoft Windows in
155 C:\\WINDOWS then you should specify
157 in the drives section.
161 .I format: windows = <directory>
165 Used to specify a different Windows directory
167 .I format: system = <directory>
169 default: C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM
171 Used to specify a different system directory
173 .I format: temp = <directory>
177 Used to specify a directory where Windows applications can store
180 .I format: path = <directories separated by semi-colons>
182 default: C:\\WINDOWS;C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM
184 Used to specify the path which will be used to find executables and .DLL's.
186 .I format: symboltablefile = <filename>
190 Used to specify the path and file name of the symbol table used by the built-in
195 .I format: com[12345678] = <devicename>
199 Used to specify the devices which are used as com1 - com8.
203 .I format: lpt[12345678] = <devicename>
207 Used to specify the devices which are used as lpt1 - lpt8.
211 .I format: file = <filename or CON when logging to stdout>
215 Used to specify the file which will be used as
218 .I format: exclude = <message names separated by semicolons>
222 Used to specify which messages will be excluded from the logfile.
224 .I format: include = <message names separated by semicolons>
227 .br Used to specify which messages will be included in the logfile.
241 system=c:\\windows\\system
245 path=c:\\windows;c:\\windows\\system;c:\\winapps\\word
247 symboltablefile=/usr/local/lib/wine.sym

288 There are too many to count, much less list. Some bugs of note, however,
289 are that programs requiring VBRUNxxx.DLL are unreliable (with reports of
290 some working), OLE is not in place, the internal COMMDLG support is not yet
291 at 100% (although rapidly improving). Color support for other than 8bpp
292 (256 colors) is currently flaky.
294 Currently, no directories in the path can have upper-case letters in them
295 (ex. /msdos/driveC), as the conversions necessary to handle the msdos
296 filename conventions currently cause them to be lost.
298 A partial list of applications known to work with
300 include: sol, cruel, golf, clock, notepad, charmap, calc, and wzip11.
