Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I checked out wineskin, but that didn't really fit the bill, as what I'm trying to run is a command-line program (comskip.exe, in fact), and I need to pass a command-line argument to comskip, which is the filename of the file to process. The windows command would be something like comskip.exe --ini="/path/to/file.ini" /path/to/recording.mpg where recording.mpg is going to vary. This script will be invoked from a python script, which is in turn triggered by an applescript triggered from EyeTV. With wineskin, there didn't seem to be a way to alter the command line argument(s) from another script. I did some more poking around, and found a reference to ttydrv in the wine.conf manual page: format: """GraphicsDriver""=""<x11drv|ttydrv>""" default: "x11drv" Tells Wine which graphics driver to use. Normally you'd want to use x11drv (for X11). In case you want to run programs as text console/TTY only without having Wine rely on X11 support, then use ttydrv. It *looks* like I should just be able to set wine to use ttydrv and not have it fire up X. However, I don't have a wine.conf file (or a ~/.wine/config file). I tried creating one containing the relevant commands, but invoking wine still started up X11.app. So, can anyone tell me how to properly set up wine with ttydrv on a mac? Thanks, Jon
