Hello, I must confess to being an absolute newbie to wine - except for having followed the content of the mailing lists for a while. I would quite like to get involved with the project, and would prefer a testing-oriented or documentation role if there was a need for such. What I'd like to know at this point, if anyone would tell me, is where exactly is the wine project up to in terms of having a system which actually works to a greater or lesser extent ? I guess it would make sense for me to start with an install of the current / latest version. I currently run Mandrake Linux 8.0, but also have most versions of Windoze available (except XP). Do instructions exist for going from a scratch Linux installation to a working (?) install of wine ? Have lists of suitable hardware / software been put together ? If so, how do I get at them ? If not, I guess it would make sense for me to offer to be involved in writing them ? I'd really like to help and be involved, but first I need to get started ! Would anyone be prepared to guide a Wine newbie through their initial steps up to the point where they might be able to do something of use to the project ? My apologies if I have directed this to the wrong list - maybe someone could help me out with that as well !

You can get a rough idea of some of the things Explorer does by messing around with LiteStep for a while and noticing what is different or just plain doesn't work right. Alternately, you can take my word for it that the little windows you see showing directories and files are only a very small part of what Explorer does. _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@winehq.com http://www.winehq.com/mailman/listinfo/wine-users

Wine actually works very well, but Windows applications under Wine - not always ;-) Seriously - it is still alpha software.> I guess it would make sense for me to start with an > install of the current / > latest version.

Of course, you are welcome to make it even better! I recommend you to get access to Wine CVS.Compilation and installation from source is not very difficult. Do not forget to uninstall existing versions if you have any.> My apologies if I have directed this to the wrong > list - maybe someone could > help me out with that as well !You are right in the place. Let me know when you finished with installation and configuration! See you later, Andriy Palamarchuk PS.

Yes, either by invoking the dos program directly, or by invoking
command.com.

Even if command.com will work, the app will likely fail the same way as when run directly with Wine, but you never know until you try. Lawson
