I sometimes uses wine to run Kazaa, I had issues with -CURRENT and wine,
so I just stick on 4.X for that purpose.

I set up wine on current to run D2GS (Diablo II Game Server) using XVFB.

I haven't used wine for any other purposes than this.

Sure, I use wine on current.  However, the problems I seem to be getting 
are wine related and not due to problems with fbsd.. as far as I can tell.

I use it a lot for 1 application, but I mostly use my version of a 6
month old version of -current for large parts of -current, and a 2.4 year
old version of wine.

Known problems:
(1) rfork() in -current (not my version) was temporarily broken.  This
broke the old version of wine though not an 0.4 year old one.
(2) Wine apparently lost something in the screen redrawing methods used
by the application (they became too slow and glitchy), so versions
newer than the 2.4 year old one are unusuable for me.

I use it on a 4.7 at work; the only apps I use are the word-, excel- and
ppt viewers for the occasional doc/xl/ppt files I receive as attachments.
Corporate windows environment, you know :-)

It's a bitch to configure and integrate with mutt. And all the messages
about font diddling look scary, but it does what I want, viewing the
files without rebooting or buying vmware.

Regards,

Jens

Well I used to use wine to play Quake2 and load flash programs but ever since 
moving from Windows 98 to XP wine doesn't really seem to work at all. Not 
there is much reason left to use it as I don't use Windows XP much anymore.

Re: Anyone use WINE at all anywhere?

2003-08-01 Thread Anthony Ginepro
I used wine on 5.1-RELEASE in order to convert some binary cdrom format other 
than .iso (all those nice .ccd, .nrg, ...). I tried playing on my own copy of 
Starcraft but didn't successed yet however I didn't take much time to work on
it.

Except old games or mirc32 (for my gf), I'm not so much interested in wine but
rather in vmware.

If you have any patch to try, you're welcome.

I don't _use_ wine on -current, but I can tell you the brief experience
that caused me to give up on it.
I wanted to install wine to run Crimson Editor, which is a fairly nice
text editor for windows.  There's no Linux or BSD version.  The wine website
claims that Crimson works under wine.
I spent about 4 or 5 hours trying to get Crimson to install and/or run.  While
I was at it, I tried a number of other wine apps to see if I was doing things
correctly.  I tried Getting America's Army to work, even Windows explorer or
IE.  The only thing I ever got to run under wine was puTTY ... which is one
Windows app I have absolutely zero use for.
Eventually, I gave up on wine and cleaned all traces of it from my HDD.  YMMV,
but I thought I'd throw my $.02 in.
