ahh. So you mean to launch, say notepad, I would go to OSX terminal and type something like: wine notepad.exe (with full paths) and you're saying that would launch the program and I'd see all the logging I need on the terminal? I notice when I launch apps now, a console window is opened that spews some errors and stuff as the programs is running. I thought this was the same thing. but it does not report exactly which DLL is missing.
