Greetings,
i managed to install Wizardry 8 and can run it from within winefile, but
not from an xterm. Running programs from an xterm is basically possible:
$ wine "c:\windows\notepad.exe"
works as expected, but
$ wine "c:\Program Files\Sirtech\Wizardry 8\Wiz8.EXE"
shows no reaction except the message
Wine exited with a successful status
$ wine "c:\Program Files\Sirtech\Wizardry 8\3DSetup.exe"
calling the configuration program of Wizardry 8 gives
http://www.triffids.de/pub/wine/wiz8/3dsetup.jpg (30 KB)
May be a problem with a path or with the spaces in the names of the
directory. Probably there exists a simple solution *g*, but which one?
Debian/Sid with icewm on wine-0.9.29

Also, if i invoke Midnight Commander, navigate to Wiz8.EXE, press F2, then @ and enter the command wine.>some apps behave odd if not started with a full path - so maybe others >do the oposite.*g* Is there a way, to get the cursor of the mouse out of the game? In dosbox this is possible with CTRL-F10. Hartmut
Hartmut Figge:>Is there a way, to get the cursor of the mouse out of the game?Well, it is indeed possible. Forget my question. Hartmut

In > dosbox this is possible with CTRL-F10.wine shows the cursor in some games - and in others not. maybe this app allows to change to another kind of cursor-rendering (see the apps config app). if not: there is afaik no such switch - you have to live with it. -- cu -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
