wine users - Jul 2008 - Batch file

Just a clarification. A batch file (*.bat) is an executable. I will be
installing a mod for WoW that needs to run a batch file after the normal
install to complete the installation (if I'm reading it correctly). I am
positive that running it with Wine should work just fine, but I wanted to
ask first just in case there is an issue with batch files I haven't heard
about.

The mod is "fubar2" and I'm using  Wine 1.0 on Debian Etch (kudos
to Ove).

Thanks,
Jim

I personally haven't come across any batch files that I've needed to run
in Wine, but I don't see why they shouldn't work unless wine doesn't
have command interpreter support at all.

All I can say is give it a shot.  If you have other things installed in
wine and are worried about messing things up, you might try installing
it in another wine prefix or backing up your existing wine prefix before
you do.

In principle, no. A batch file is basically a shell script, not an 
executable as such.

You could always try to run it with the Wine command shell (cmd) and see 
if it works, e.g. wine cmd /c file.bat
