You would have to add a special-case hack somewhere in either bash or kernel source code, somewhat along the lines of how #! files are handled, but triggered by detecting the "MZ" signature of a .exe file**. It's probably easier to add a script (or alias, or shell function) for each program of interest, along the lines of (untested): $ ls -l notepad -r-xr--r-- 1 perryh perryh 63 Aug 24 01:30 notepad $ cat notepad #!/bin/bash cd ~/.wine/drive_c/windows exec wine ./notepad.exe This way, you don't even have to type the .exe :) ---------- ** or, perhaps, the .exe part of the name -- but looking for a signature within the file is more in keeping with the way Unix/Linux normally operate.
