There are instuctions for installing (copying to the correct directories and seting up ld_library_path. If you have a notion that you will be using your favorite windows 95 98 00 programs - forget it. I once compiled a simple command line utility for decompression, it worked but not as it should've. Take a look at the list of windows programs rated according to success in wine, it can be found at the official wine site, you may find that you do not want to install it afterall. Some say it's a porting tool not a not_an_emulator. Oh yeah, you're not s'posta say emulator because eventually some computer ruffian is going to give you an e-thashing.

Thanks, Tom Loredo You should use dselect, or a similar Package Manager program (I half remember that Corel has a sort of 'gnome-apt'), to install the debian packages named 'libwine' and 'wine'. My advise : if you think to run all or most of your windows programs with wine, you could be disappointed. As far as I know, it is still ALPHA-quality software, and many window applications do not run under it. Last time I checked, I downloaded their March 2000 release (2326) and the most complex program I could run was Paint.(I'm sure it can do more than this; not with my programs, anyway). Moreover, the version with ships with Corel is probably old ( I don't know : on the network edition CD I have, wine is not present ). If you want to run a single application or a few ones, you may be lucky. Before installing wine, I suggest to check their web site: they keep a list of all the programs which have successfully run under Wine. Ciao -- FB
