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 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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. -- Paul Johnson baloo at ursine.ca -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
