I guess I've been going about things all wrong when it comes to upgrading Wine. I have assumed that I could simply install the newer version over the top of the older one and that any conversion issues would be addressed on the next startup. I see now that is not the case. I have not even seen any mention of compatibility issues in the abbreviated release announcements. I need to learn what steps need to be performed for each biweekly release to make upgrades go smoothly. I see one major incompatibility issue that could be biting me right now. I came to Wine about two years ago with an existing set of 14 Win98 partitions (C; through P:). When a new installation of Wine takes place directory .wine/dosdevices is not made to use of any of these but rather a soft link from c: to .wine/drive_c is created. Directory .wine/drive_c does not contain any of *my* windows stuff. How important is it that .wine/dosdevices/c: link to .wine/drive_c rather than to *my* Win98 C: partition? It looks like it is very important but then, where should my Win98 C: partition go? I don't see how they can both be on the same link. Help will be appreciated. I don't know whether the above explains my problems with Pegasus Mail running in the background without even a task bar reference on Wine versions 0.9.10 through 0.9.13. -- Jim _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
