Yes, I know it's old version. But the application in question used to run under MS-DOS in an old PC, which I want to retire now.
I hope that changes made to wine affected only its Windows part, and that its console was stable.
I configured wine to access hard disk subdirectories for A:,B: and C: emulated disk drives.
When I execute 'wine wcmd', I get a window with DOS prompt.
I can execute internal commands such as dir or type.
But when I try to execute a program, the wine gets stuck, and aborts when I hit CTRL-C.
I also see the following message: Warning: //usr/bin/wine not accessible from a configured DOS drive
That's strange. It shouldn't require that.
It is complaining that the "wine" executeable is note reachable by any MSDOS drive name. I'm not sure why it needs to.
Just so you know, dosemu is considered better for this stuff than wine.
Also, regarding Hebrew, please pay attention that there is a difference between running "wcmd", and running "wineconsole wcmd". The later gives wine better control over the entire console environment, and has greater chances of actually working.
I found no clue what to check or change in my configuration to solve the above problems, even though I RTFMed the following:
- man wine
- man wine.conf (finds it in section 5)
- /usr/share/doc/wine-20020605/wine-doc/set1.html, viewed by means of a
browser.
