wine users - Dec 2001 - Running console apps

Hi!
  I'm trying to run a program which requires the win console (i.e. it
doesn't
run from DOS).
  I can't run it from wineconsole - there is a new window opened, there is a
big fat cursor in it, which moves sometimes but nothing remains written.
  I have also some old DOS programs, which also cannot be run under wineconsole.
In such a case, stderr fills with a message saying that
fixme:ddraw:VGA_Poll output commented out for now, should be moved to
winedos.dll
  and also
Warning: /opt/wine/bin/wine not accessible from a configured DOS drive
  which is strange, because after this message appeared for the first time, I
created an I: drive which maps to /opt/wine but this didn't help.
  Even with wine instead of wineconsole, theses apps start, write something, but
then either crash and quit or freeze and do nothing :-(. Theses are the most
primitive apps like nc or similar.
  Any hints ? Have I something misconfigured ? Or is it a common problem ?

                                    With regards, Pavel Troller

since running without wineconsole also crashes the program, something
must be
wrong outside the recent console changes (even it's more than likely
that bugs
remain). did you try to run with -debugmsg +relay to see what could be
cause
of the the issue (some wine bug triggered by the program)

yes, there's still work to be done on the console and its integration
with
DOS interface

A+
