wine users - Jul 2003 - fireworks 4

Hi

I'm dual booting between win98se and mandrake.

I have fireworks 4 on the windows partition.

I cannot open fireworks 4 using wine - wine Fireworks 4.exe

I have noticed this with linux, that if there is a space -like there is 
between the word fireworks and the numeral 4 - linux wont proceed. 

Is there a way around this?

Any help/suggestions will be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

This is a UNIX thing. Since a space separates arguments to a command -
	"cp fileone file2 destination"
for example, you need to quote the command, eg
	wine "Fireworks 4.exe"
Also make sure the case is right (under UNIX, FireWorks.exe, 
FIREWORKS.exe, Fireworks.exe, FIREWORKS.EXE etc are all different files) 
and if you need to specify the full path (
	"/mnt/windows/Program Files/FireWorks/FIREWORKS 4.EXE"
) for example.

Thanks guys.

The putting quotes around the fireworks 4.exe worked.

Making a short cut to my home directory did not work, however.

Cheers
