I'm a brand-new WINE user. Just installed my very first copy, and I'm
ready to go... Only thing is, when I try to start WINE, it complains
"File .wine/config is not a valid REG file"...?
I tried creating one from scratch, using emacs, and I got that error.
Figuring I must have done something wrong, I copied the sample config
from the documents dir, and changed the applicable variables (also in
emacs) and tried again. Still the same error.
Am I missing something here? Should this file, like fstab, be only
edited in something like vi? Any help/ideas would be appreciated.
Thanx in advance, and once again, hello, all!

Still the same error.That should be enough, unless emacs does something funky with the first line. I use [mkdir ~/.wine] cp <wine>/documentation/samples/config ~/.wine joe ~/.wine Substitute the path where you put the wine source tree for <wine>. any text editor should do, but don't change the first line. Oh yes, you (or wineinstall or something) must create that ~/.wine directory first, or the cp I used above will create a _file_ ~/.wine> > Am I missing something here?
