Run winecfg and see if you have it. Z: > drive should point to "/" - this is default after clean Wine installation. winecfg says it's there, as does ls: $ ls -l .wine/dosdevices/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 pgf pgf 10 Jan 9 09:50 c: -> ../drive_c/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 pgf pgf 4 Jan 9 09:50 d: -> /mnt/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 pgf pgf 9 Jan 9 09:50 d:: -> /dev/scd0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 pgf pgf 1 Jan 9 09:50 z: -> // that second "d::" looks a little odd, but i assume it's intentional. i've removed my .wine and let wine recreate it. > Also you can try to run programs like that: > > wine "D:\program.exe" > > Just place program.exe to ~/.wine/drive_c/ directory and try.

(i think -- i don't have local access to the X display at the moment, but i'm getting further than i did before.) thanks for suggesting that i copy the executable, which i wasn't able to do. it turns out my userid didn't have read access to the contents of the cdrom mounted at /mnt. remounting it with "-o uid=pgf" has gotten me past that problem. i'm a little surprised that the error messages weren't more explicit -- if i couldn't read the taxcut.exe that i was trying to run, i'd have expected wine to complain far earlier than it seems to have. (i now get an exception and stack dump, but i won't trouble the list with that until i'm running on a real display.) paul =--------------------- paul fox, pgf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (arlington, ma, where it's 36.7 degrees) _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
