No, I meant that a lot of old Win 3.1 programs are actually DOS 
programs, so you might be able to run them without Windows.

I have been plugging away at trying to get it going but I keep hitting
snags. I ended up using Codeweavers but now I am told I need xmessage
(whatever that is) and I was told to do a search and install it. I cannot
find it.


IIRC, xmessage is in XFree86-contrib, or some such package.  A search on 
 rpmfind.net should turn it up.

[newbie] Installing an exe with WINE

[Russ]

Hi All,

OK, what kind of hoops do I have to jump through to install a win3.1
program to work under WINE.

I typed in wine and then the file but got alot of errors. Is there
something I need to do prior to installing it or what. Does WINE create
the necessary directories on first install or do you have to do it
manually.

Thanks
Russ
