wine users - May 2006 - Word97 launches but still cannot save or load

Dear friends:

Thanks to Ekkehard, I found out how to launch Word97. I went to
the .wine/drive_c directory and then (using quotes around "Program
Files"
and "Microsoft Office") I cd's to where Winword.exe was and then
typed,
within this subdirectory: wine WINWORD.EXE. That launched Word97 at last.

But when I try to save a document, all I get is the first letter of the file
name. When I try to save, Word refuses to do so. Please see error messages:

http://www.websher.net/tmp/word2.png

Plus the data files:

http://www.websher.net/tmp/user.reg
http://www.websher.net/tmp/userdef.reg
http://www.websher.net/tmp/system.reg

I would be most grateful for your kind help.

I don't see the 'only first letter' problem in your screenshots. How
is
Drive E: configured? I.e. what does 'ls -l ~/.wine/dosdevices/e:'
display, and what is shown in winecfg?

Hi Benjamin!

This issue seems to have been resolved with wine 0.9.16.
