Hi! > I have a new EeePC from ASUS with Xandros version of linux installed. I have installed wine, and believe that the installation works for at least some windows programs. Looking in the windows\system32 directory I see notepad and progman, both of which run and look reasonable. > > What I really want to do is to run a command window, i.e. cmd.exe. Even though it is there, when I attempt to execute it (either as cmd <enter> or as cmd.exe <enter>) I get told bash: cmd: command not found. You have to enter "wine cmd.exe". It should work. > > Reason I want to do this is so that I can run a DOS program of mine. I can run that program using DOSBOX, but there is a slight problem and that does not work quite 100%. I also have attempted to use DOSEMU, but that is much worse in several ways. > Wine is not intended to run DOS programs. I'm afraid that it will not work. I'm afraid that you will have to live with DosBox :-(. > So -- question is: How can I get a DOS program to run using WINE, similar to how I run it in windows XP using a CMD window? > Even if it probably will not work, the correct answer is: Use bash, cd to the directory containing the program, and enter "wine <program name>". It will try to do, what you are asking for...
