By default, Wine's notepad is compiled as a Winelib executable, so it only works on Linux. (IMHO it ought to be compiled as a Windows executable by default, but that would mean you'd have to have a cross-compiler to build Wine, which would be a pain.) _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
