Hello everyone, Wine is new for me. I am running a 2005-09-30 version on a Linux Mandrake 10.0 (it was still not Mandriva) (linux-P3-SMB-64GB, LILO refers). Wine was seamlessly installed from the RPMs. I am amazed of the power of the tool. If a developper reads me, congratulations !!! But (unfortunatelly yes, there is a "but") two problems arise: - one software package refuses to install himself claiming that it cannot install on windows NT4; service pack 3 was needed... I am sure that this package could also be installed, (the box claims a W98 SE compatibility) but I tried without success to tell Wine to show istself as W98 SE. Proposal: either a menu to enforce a M$ OS of our choice, or an option on the command line to enforce this: example: "wine myprogramme.exe" ; let the wine program acts as to-day. "wine -v W98SE myprogramme.exe" ; enforce a windows 98 SE appearance Maybe a good idea ? NB: the programme is from TLC Multimedia, MINDSCAPE and Riverdeep : "Le club des Trouvetout - Les plantes carnivores" ref LCT754EF-CD1 - a second problem is a software of which the cdrom is not readable from another source than a M$ OS. The directory simply shows empty. On a M$ box, however, everything worked fine. The bottle of ink for me; sorry chaps ! NB: the programme is from Coktel: "Dis-moi ADI CM2 10-11 ans" version 7.0 Hope this helps a little bit. If anyone has a tip for me, welcome ! Be sure I continue posting my experience. Kind regards to all, Philippe _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
