.exe files are dos/windows executables... they are not natively supported on linux..
but with wine, you can create a "windows compatability layer" that can allow you to run them..(sometimes) bascially, wine creates a fake windows enviroment, and tries to fool windows programs into thinking they are running on windows... sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.. depends on the program in question.. look up codeweavers in google.com and it will lead you to a database of tested proggies. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Marcia Sent: Monday, 18 November 2002 11:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] How to open .exe files Dear All, Is there a program in linux that will open .exe files or programs?
