how do I add a program to wine? Wine comes with Notepad and that works well but how do I install the e-Sword.exe I want to use? I also saw a iexplore.exe - can I use Internet explorer in Ubuntu Linux and if so, how do I do that?

By default, Wine maps $HOME/.wine/drive_c/ to C:, applications are run by double-clicking them. Markus - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dipl. Ing. Markus Hitter http://www.jump-ing.de/

With IE - no you can't run it as-is on Wine. If your really have to have it - look at ies4linux.

I tried it myself just now, and came up with an easier recipe. Try this: First, download and install e-Sword in Wine. Try running it. You won't see any text in the "tip of the day" or in the lower pane. To work around this problem in Wine, copy and paste these commands into a terminal window (careful, it's dangerous to trust strangers, but you can trust me :-): wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks chmod +x winetricks ./winetricks riched20 msls31 This will install Microsoft Reader and then copy a needed native dll from it. After you do this, e-Sword should work properly. Let me know what happens. That page also mentions that there's a native Linux alternative, http://gnomesword.sourceforge.net/ which you might want to look at. Good luck, Dan

IE is non-trivial to install in Wine, and IE suffers from a large number of security issues making it unsuitable for use by anyone who doesn't want to get compromised. Use Konqueror or Iceweasel (or Firefox) instead. - -- Paul Johnson baloo at ursine.ca -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFH480vUCxPKZafKh0RAqk6AJ9XjjGvda/Kpsj5nCn0HBHUqjPhDgCgkDlJ fh09z/G3SiwBtKgs6UBHRQU=x62l -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
