.SH NAME
wine \- run Windows programs under Unix
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B wine
[
.I options
]
.I program_name
[
.I arguments
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B wine
invokes the Windows emulator.
.PP
.B wine 
currently runs a number of games and small applications (approximately
half of the applets and common games actually run), although the entire API
has not been implemented.
.PP
See the files 
.B README,
.B ChangeLog, 
.B configure, 
and the
.B Makefile
contained in the source distribution
to compile
.B wine.
.SH REQUIREMENTS
At present, 
.B wine
will run under any Linux kernel more recent than 0.99.13, or
under recent releases of NetBSD and FreeBSD.
.PP
.B X
must be installed.
.PP
.B libXpm
must be installed.  (It is probably available from the same site 
.B wine
was, or the sources may be FTP'd from ftp.x.org).
.SH INSTALLATION
To install 
.B Wine,
run "./configure", which will detect your specific setup and create
the Makefiles. You can run "./configure --help" to see the available
configuration options. Then do "make depend; make" to build the
.B wine
executable, and then "make install" to install it. By default,
.B wine
is installed in /usr/local/bin; you can specify a different path with
the --prefix option when running
.B configure.

.PD 1
.SH PROGRAM/ARGUMENTS
The program name may be specified in DOS format (C:\\WINDOWS\\SOL.EXE) or in 
Linux format (/msdos/windows/sol.exe).  The program being executed may be 
passed arguments by adding them on to the end of the command line invoking
.B wine
(such as: wine "notepad C:\\TEMP\\README.TXT").  Note that
the program name and its arguments 
.I must
be passed as a single parameter, which is usually accomplished by placing
them together in quotation marks.  Multiple applications may be started
by placing all of them on the command line (such as: wine notepad clock).
.SH CONFIGURATION FILE
.B wine
expects a configuration file (/usr/local/etc/wine.conf), which should
conform to the following rules (the format is just like a Windows .ini
file).  The actual file name may be specified during the execution of
the
.B configure
script.  Alternatively, you may have a 
.I .winerc
file of this format in your home directory.
.SH CONFIGURATION FILE FORMAT
All entries are grouped in sections; a section begins with the line
.br
.I [section name]
.br
and continues until the next section starts. Individual entries
consist of lines of the form
.br
.I entry=value
.br
The value can be any text string, optionally included in single or
double quotes; it can also contain references to environment variables
surrounded by
.I ${}.
Supported section names and entries are listed below.
.PP
.B [Drive X]
.br
This section is used to specify the root directory and type of each
.B DOS
drive, since most Windows applications require a DOS/MS-Windows based 
disk drive & directory scheme. There is one such section for every
drive you want to configure.
.PP
.I format: Path = <rootdirectory>
.br
default: none
.br
If you mounted your dos partition as 
.I /dos
and installed Microsoft Windows in 
C:\\WINDOWS then you should specify 
.I Path=/dos
in the
.I [Drive C]
section.
.PP
.I format: Type = <type>
.br
default: hd
.br
Used to specify the drive type; supported types are floppy, hd, cdrom
and network.

.br

number.
.PP
.I format: Filesystem = <fstype>
.br
default: unix
.br
Used to specify the type of the filesystem on which the drive resides;
supported types are msdos (or fat), win95 (or vfat), unix. If the
drive spans several different filesystems, say unix.
.PP
.B [wine]
.br
.I format: windows = <directory>
.br
default: C:\\WINDOWS
.br

temporary files.
.PP
.I format: path = <directories separated by semi-colons>
.br
default: C:\\WINDOWS;C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM
.br

.PP
.I format: symboltablefile = <filename>
.br
default: wine.sym
.br
Used to specify the path and file name of the symbol table used by the built-in
debugger.
.PP
.B [serialports]
.br
.I format: com[12345678] = <devicename>

.br
.I format: lpt[12345678] = <devicename>

.SH BUGS
There are too many to count, much less list.  Some bugs of note, however,
are that programs requiring VBRUNxxx.DLL are unreliable (with reports of
some working), OLE is not in place, the internal COMMDLG support is not yet
at 100% (although rapidly improving).  Color support for other than 8bpp
(256 colors) is currently flaky.
