[ANNOUNCE]WineWorks - yet another utility to configure Wine!

[Subhobroto Sinha]

Hello all,

well this is NOT yet another effort to imitate
WineCfg!

WineCfg needs Wine to be running to work. WineWorks
does NOT need Wine to be running.
WineWorks has been developed using Qt 3.1.1

WineWorks has been written keeping it in mind as MORE
of a troubleshooting tool rather than a customization
and configuring tool. That is something WineCfg is
there for.
I intend to make WineWorks as a tool which can HELP a
user figure out potential problems which can hinder
running Wine on his machine and to resolve those
issues so that Wine may be up and going... all from a
easy to use GUI.

Please try out the program and send reports back to
<subhobrotosinha at yahoo dot com> with [WINEWORKS] in
the subject line and an optional line appended to it
if required.
I will soon put the details up on my site as soon as I
get a few reports in my mail box.

The program is attached compressed as 'WineWorks.zip'
and has MD5 Sum '145a82af87efa62c8a694c5a1c18a0a5'.

NOTE: It's recommended that you run WineWorks from a
shell window to see the trace/debug messages. That way
you can see what it's doing behind the scenes and
where it went wrong (if it did)..

Thanks ;)

Regards

Subhobroto Sinha

Hi,

I tried to run the tool and there is one (serious) problem related to the 
fonts. It looks like you used fixed positions for most widgets. The problem 
is that this looks bad with bigger fonts. See the attachment.
