2 .TH WINE 1 "September 1, 1995" "Version 9/1/95" "Windows Emulation"
4 wine \- run Windows programs under Unix
16 invokes the Windows emulator.
19 currently runs a number of games and small applications (approximately
20 half of the applets and common games actually run), although the entire API
21 has not been implemented.
29 contained in the source distribution
35 will run under any Linux kernel more recent than 0.99.13, or
36 under recent releases of NetBSD/i386, FreeBSD and OpenBSD/i386.
42 must be installed. (It is probably available from the same site
44 was, or the sources may be FTP'd from ftp.x.org).
48 run "./configure", which will detect your specific setup and create
49 the Makefiles. You can run "./configure --help" to see the available
50 configuration options. Then do "make depend; make" to build the
52 executable, and then "make install" to install it. By default,
54 is installed in /usr/local/bin; you can specify a different path with
55 the --prefix option when running
63 Enter the debugger before starting application
65 .I -debugmsg name[,name]
66 Turn debugging messages on or off - for instance,
67 .I -debugmsg +dll,+heap
68 will turn on DLL and heap debugging messages. The full list is: all, accel,
69 atom, bitblt, bitmap, caret, cdaudio, class, clipboard, clipping, combo,
70 comm, commdlg, crtdll, cursor, dc, dde, dialog, dll, dosfs, driver, edit,
71 env, event, exec, file, fixup, font, gdi, global, graphics, heap, hook,
72 icon, int, key, keyboard, ldt, listbox, local, mci, mcianim, mciwave, mdi,
73 menu, message, metafile, midi, mmio, mmsys, mmtime, module, msg, nonclient,
74 ole, palette, profile, prop, reg, region, relay, resource, scroll, segment,
75 selector,sem, sendmsg, shm, stress, string, syscolor, task, text, timer, toolhelp,ver, vxd, win, win32, winsock.
78 Change the depth to use for multiple-depth screens
81 Use a desktop window of the given geometry
84 Use the specified display
87 Enables/disables built-in DLL's - starting wine with
89 is probably a good idea.
90 The full list of DLLs modifiable by this is:
91 WIN87EM, SHELL, SOUND, KEYBOARD, WINSOCK, STRESS, MMSYSTEM, SYSTEM, TOOLHELP,
92 MOUSE, COMMDLG, OLE2, OLE2CONV, OLE2DISP, OLE2NLS, OLE2PROX, OLECLI, OLESVR,
93 COMPOBJ, STORAGE, WINPROCS, DDEML, ADVAPI32, COMCTL32, COMDLG32, CRTDLL,
94 GDI32, LZ32, MPR, NTDLL, OLE32, SHELL32, USER32, VER, VERSION, W32SYS, WINMM,
98 Read only files may not be opened in write mode (the default is to
99 allow opening read-only files for writing, because most Windows
100 programs always request read-write access, even on CD-ROM drives...).
103 Use a "standard" color map.
111 (one of En, Es, De, No, Fr, Fi, Da, Cz, Eo, It, Ko, Hu, Pl, Po, Sw, Ca)
114 Create each top-level window as a properly managed X window
117 Determines the mode in which
119 is started. Possible mode names are
123 Enhanced mode is the default (when no -mode option is specified).
126 Set the application name
129 Use a private color map
132 Turn on synchronous display mode
135 Specify which Windows version WINE should imitate.
136 Possible arguments are: win31, win95 and nt351.
138 .SH PROGRAM/ARGUMENTS
139 The program name may be specified in DOS format (C:\\WINDOWS\\SOL.EXE) or in
140 Linux format (/msdos/windows/sol.exe). The program being executed may be
141 passed arguments by adding them on to the end of the command line invoking
143 (such as: wine "notepad C:\\TEMP\\README.TXT"). Note that
144 the program name and its arguments
146 be passed as a single parameter, which is usually accomplished by placing
147 them together in quotation marks. Multiple applications may be started
148 by placing all of them on the command line (such as: wine notepad clock).
149 .SH CONFIGURATION FILE
151 expects a configuration file (/usr/local/etc/wine.conf), which should
152 conform to the following rules (the format is just like a Windows .ini
153 file). The actual file name may be specified during the execution of
156 script. Alternatively, you may have a
158 file of this format in your home directory.
159 .SH CONFIGURATION FILE FORMAT
160 All entries are grouped in sections; a section begins with the line
164 and continues until the next section starts. Individual entries
165 consist of lines of the form
169 The value can be any text string, optionally included in single or
170 double quotes; it can also contain references to environment variables
173 Supported section names and entries are listed below.
177 This section is used to specify the root directory and type of each
179 drive, since most Windows applications require a DOS/MS-Windows based
180 disk drive & directory scheme. There is one such section for every
181 drive you want to configure.
183 .I format: Path = <rootdirectory>
187 If you mounted your dos partition as
189 and installed Microsoft Windows in
190 C:\\WINDOWS then you should specify
196 .I format: Type = <type>
200 Used to specify the drive type; supported types are floppy, hd, cdrom
203 .I format: Label = <label>
207 Used to specify the drive label; limited to 11 characters.
209 .I format: Serial = <serial>
213 Used to specify the drive serial number, as an 8-character hexadecimal
216 .I format: Filesystem = <fstype>
220 Used to specify the type of the filesystem on which the drive resides;
221 supported types are msdos (or fat), win95 (or vfat), unix. If the
222 drive spans several different filesystems, say unix.
226 .I format: windows = <directory>
230 Used to specify a different Windows directory
232 .I format: system = <directory>
234 default: C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM
236 Used to specify a different system directory
238 .I format: temp = <directory>
242 Used to specify a directory where Windows applications can store
245 .I format: path = <directories separated by semi-colons>
247 default: C:\\WINDOWS;C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM
249 Used to specify the path which will be used to find executables and .DLL's.
251 .I format: symboltablefile = <filename>
255 Used to specify the path and file name of the symbol table used by the built-in
260 .I format: com[12345678] = <devicename>
264 Used to specify the devices which are used as com1 - com8.
268 .I format: lpt[12345678] = <devicename>
272 Used to specify the devices which are used as lpt1 - lpt8.
276 .I format: file = <filename or CON when logging to stdout>
280 Used to specify the file which will be used as
283 .I format: exclude = <message names separated by semicolons>
287 Used to specify which messages will be excluded from the logfile.
289 .I format: include = <message names separated by semicolons>
292 .br Used to specify which messages will be included in the logfile.
293 .SH SAMPLE CONFIGURATION FILE

363 There are too many to count, much less list. Some bugs of note, however,
364 are that programs requiring VBRUNxxx.DLL are unreliable (with reports of
365 some working), OLE is not in place, the internal COMMDLG support is not yet
366 at 100% (although rapidly improving). Color support for other than 8bpp
367 (256 colors) is currently flaky.
369 A partial list of applications known to work with
371 include: sol, cruel, golf, clock, notepad, charmap, calc, and wzip11.
