wine users - May 2012 - Software running fine in wine, how to save/open files?

Hey, folks


I'm a new Wine user running version 1.2.3 on Mac OS 10.7.4.  I installed
wine to run circuit board design software from ExpressPCB.com (the only reason I
still own a windows PC).  I'm not a software/code guy at all, but after some
fiddling I was able get the software to run normally.  If I understand
correctly, Wine is placing these little portable applications in pseudo-windows
environment complete with all the files that came through from the windows
installer when I "WineBottled" the .exe installer file.

My question is this:  I have a number of legacy files from using this software
are on another machine that I want to be able to open, and add to, while running
this software on my Mac - but there seems to be no way to point the save or open
functions to anywhere outside the windows realm in my bottled application.

I hope that makes sense.  I also hope I didn't overlook an easy answer while
reading the FAQs.


Thanks in advance for any help,

Brian

WineBottler (and the Wine.app that is part of it)... are...

A. not supported here, the same as all 3rd party programs.

B. very old and no longer maintained or updated... the creator vanished and has
been silent for over a year and a half.

If you want to use normal Wine that is supported here... the easiest way to do
that is using Macports (at macports.org).  Remember its all command line...

If you want to find another 3rd party program
(http://wiki.winehq.org/ThirdPartyApplications) thats more current, that could
be a way to go too... I'd look at Crossover or Wineskin.

None of the options but build it yourself Wine and all command line usage is
supported on this forum though for OSX.
