wine users - Sep 2009 - Mac OS X, DOS tools start X11, this is silly...

Hello,
when I use DOS command line tools from within Terminal, is there a way to
refrain X11 lauch?

For instance if try to use DeflOpt (http://www.walbeehm.com/download/), I get
this:

allosaurus:wine Caveman$ ./wine deflopt *.png

Most Windows console programs still make gdi32/user32 calls which require an
Xserver.

The program has finished way before X11 is started.

This will cause Wine to crash with an X server not found error.  This was a
major cause of problems between MacOSX 10.4 and MacOSX 10.5.

In other words, there has to be a running X server in order for Wine to run. 
This is a requirement even for windowless operations.

DOSbox might be an emulator but it works really well and really fast.  I even
use it to play some later higher graphic DOS games that were out even after most
gaming went to Windows, and it runs them very well.  Not sure on your OS, but I
bundle DOSbox up into a .app on Macs with all the programs inside of it to make
"ports" of software that looks just like a Mac .app file and double
click to run, completely self contained and runs great....

When I played with Wine for running DOS things, it really sucked... so I just
suggested DOSbox because it actually worked better and faster for me.
