Then, try using 'winecfg' for configuration However, so far I have not been able to get anything more complex than notepad running under wine on freebsd-6.1-release Regards Gautham ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Supposedly if you set up wine to emulate Win2K it'll work better, but not perfectly (like WINE ever worked perfectly :) and there are patches in the pipeline that'll help with some other problems.
