I'm new to the list and to Wine.
I loaded wine wine-0.9.7-i486-S10.2 into Slackware 10.1 in order to run
the Forte Agent newsreader. It was setup and running under Win4lin
which I have discontinued.
What would be the syntax to load Forte Agent and specify the old
"start-in" directory used under Win4lin?
wine ./agent something_for_start-in_directory ??
Does Wine have the concept of a Desktop with icons or is winefile what
we must use?
Thanks, Larry
I mostly figured this out. What I did is create a new link to
application on the kde desktop which allows me to specify both the
initial command line and start-up directory. When I specified the
directory I was using under Win4lin, Agent loaded just fine with my
settings intact.
I've heard for years that Agent ran well in Wine and it's a very great
pleasure to see just how well it does.
There are only two small problems left - the fonts are very tiny which
perhaps can be set in Agent itself and I'd like to somehow capture the
Agent icon of a man in a red hat (not related to Red Hat) and a black
pipe. Anyone know of a good way of extracting Windows program icons and
using them in in a window manager like kde?
