wine users - May 2008 - Re: Problem access a directory

VegasSam,
I am new to Linux and Wine, I use ListPro (WIN) all the time and would like to
install it under Wine. I would greatly appreciate it if you could summarize the
steps you had to take to properly install/run ListPro under Wine (we'll just
assume that I get Wine installed correctly ;-).

For example, what additional directories and associated permissions did you
create? Any other advice?

I would assume that the install steps are to (I'll adjust exact dir names as
needed - don't have Linux notes in front of me):
1. Copy the listprope-p-setup.exe file to the "wine C-drive" directory
2. Command line: wine "c:\listprope-p-setup.exe"  

Thank you very much!

says just doubleclick on the setup file  (Listpro-Wine-Setup.exe)
or do "wine Listpro-Wine-Setup.exe" in whatever directory it's in.
You don't have to have it in c:\, normally, wine can see your home
directory just fine.

The app runs ok; a few quirks:
1. help is not really usable
2. mouse cursor disappears when hovering over a link
3. clicking on a link to a remote list file does download it ok,
but doesn't automatically open it in ListPro.  I got it to open in
a new ListPro by writing a little script,

#!/bin/sh
cd "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Ilium Software/ListPro"
wine ListPro "$@"

I saved this as ~/bin/listpro, did 'chmod +x ~/bin/listpro', and was
then
able to specify that to Firefox as what to open the list with; it opened
ok.
