Maybe its a typo in your email, but you do not seem to have the 'wine' command anywhere. Surely to run your application from the command line you are typing wine /mnt/windows/program\ files/agent/agent.exe
to get that working from an icon all you have to do is put that text in the 'Command' field of the 'execute' Tab in an icons properties. You might still have trouble with the working directory for the application. Here is an example of the command line of a Quicken icon on my desktop. winex -workdir "/home/derek/.transgaming/c_drive/Program Files/quicken" "C:/Program Files/quicken/QW.EXE" "" (That is all one line) I am using Transgaming's winex instead of wine, but I daresay the parameters are similar. (And before someone asks :- Quicken runs really badly under both wine and winex I was only experimenting) HTH derek On Thursday 03 January 2002 04:57, Fred Fraley wrote: > Running Mandrake 8.0, KDE 2.1.1, wine 20010305 > Gray haired grandfather ( so be gentle:-) started with Apple //e, DOS > experience back to 3.3, WIN to 3.1, new to really using Linux, though I > installed it all the way back to Slackware and Yggdrasil from floppies > (kernel 0.9something as I recall) Wow, what progress!! > My current problem: > > I can open Agent from a terminal (Konsole) with the command line > /mnt/windows/program\ files/agent/agent.exe > > I tried that as a script (never wrote a script before). > did chmod -e agent > did chmod a -e agent > added #! to beginning of line > and other items from various books I have lying around. > I am shown as the owner.
