hey i finally figured out wat to do.... am not sure weder this s the rite way of doin t bt t works for me... 1.Goto Wine directory for the .wine to exists goto applications->wine->accessories->notepad... this creates the .wine dircd ~/.wine2. cd drive_c/Program\ Files/3.create a symlink (This represents the link in windows) To make links between files you need to use ln command. A symbolic link (also known as a soft link or symlink) consists of a special type of file that serves as a reference to another file or directory"ln -s /media/WIN XP/Program Files/lotus/or ln -s /media/sda1/Program Files/lotus/ 4. Run this commandwine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/lotus/notes/nlnotes.exe = ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/lotus/notes/notes.ini ________________________________From: Felix Bollenbeck <wineforum-user@xxxxxxxxxx>To: wine-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx: Tuesday, 7 October, 2008 6:20:17 PMSubject: Re: help with lotus notes invocation using wine it is actually working by simply wine the .exe on ntfs partition after changing some directory names in the notes files.
