wine users - Mar 2005 - Can I run windows console (command line) applications using WINE

Hi,

 

I understand Windows UI applications can run in Linux using wine. 

 

1.	Can I run console/command line applications also?
2.	If yes, a how can a shell script running on Linux invoke the
console/command line application. (A sample would be great)

 

Thanks,

 

Susheel

Just the same way as a UI app;
wine hellow.exe

Well, I was about to send you a message saying RTFM, but I don't see
it in the FM. Maybe the FM maintainer(s) will add this to the FM.

Some. I've already found out you cannot run programs
that access the video hardware directly. Use wineconsole.

Do you mean to say that DOS executables will run under Wine? Can you, for
example, run command.com and have a DOS prompt/DOS box?

Are you sure about this?  I was also wondering about
this, but I haven't found a way to pass arguments. 
While somethings like "wine program.exe" will run an
EXE application, I haven't been able to run
command-based apps with parameters.  For example,
"wine command.exe fileToProcess.txt" won't work.

Hey, use wcmd for that...

Fantastic...  I'll give it a go!
