Great Arnold Hi, Norman, Sorry to bother you again, but I have entered wine home/qpc2/qpac2.exe in terminal and the response is can't find 'home//qpc2/qpc2.exe' I have entered just 'wine' and I get three options 'wine - with argument' 'wine - version' 'wine - help' when I enter 'wine /help I get message : cannot find LC;\\windows\\system 32\\ help.exe. I copied QPC2 from windows folder onto a usb flash drive, then, using the usb drive copied QPC2 into a folder marked QPC2 in 'home' on the ubuntu machine.

Re: [Ql-Users] qpc2/linux
Arnold, Linux is case sensitive. If you created a folder called QPC in your home folder then try wine ~/QPC/qpc2.exe Which assumes that the above is the correct spelling. You can check in your file manager for the correct folder and filenames, or: cd ~ ls If QPC shows up: ls QPC where ls in the above is a lower case ell and an ess. You should now have the full path to the exe file, so, substitute as appropriate into the wine command above. Cheers, Norm.

I copied QPC2 from windows folder onto a usb flash drive, then, using the usb drive copied QPC2 into a folder marked QPC2 in 'home' on the ubuntu machine. The command to run is /home/qpc2/qpc2.exe A misplaced '/'. The first '/' tells the system to start at the root, and the remaining '/'s are directory separators (just like the windows '\'). Mind you it is hard to figure what you originally did - I bet there are some mistypes above (8-)# You can also 'cd /home/qpc2' (and ENTER) and type ./qpc2 (and ENTER). Type $PATH and ENTER - this will give a list of default directories. If you copy qpc2 to one of those, then all you need to type is 'qpc2' from anywhere. Some default directories may need root access. BTW you need to configure your mailer for in-line quoting with the '' character. As time goes by your emails (with replies) are becoming more and more unreadable. I have edited this one to the way it should have been (possibly)!

Re: [Ql-Users] qpc2/linux
The second thing, I have entered just 'wine' and I get three options 'wine - with argument' 'wine - version' 'wine - help' when I enter 'wine /help I get message : cannot find LC;\\windows\ \system 32\\ help.exe. Yo should use -- (double minus) instead of / (slash). Not wine /help (which tries to find and run program help.exe), but wine --help ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
