(Can't remember how to do that under OS X) Example contents of script: ################## Start of script, don't include this line #!/bin/bash WINEPREFIX=~/.wine # Change if your Wineprefix is located elsewhere... export WINEPREFIX cd "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/program files\vcds" # Path is case-sensitive, check case (Might need to be "Program Files") wine vcds.exe ############################### End of script This might work as well: (replace the last 2 lines in the above script with this...) wine start "C:\program files\vcds\vcds.exe" Gert
