--- Comment #7 from Howie Hoyt n4af@pvrc.org 2010-05-03 21:18:45 --- Testing Mepis 8.5 (Debian Lenny).
As sometimes happens, TR4W does not come up at all. however...
Circumvention remains the same. If I put the CFG file (contest specific) into the SAME DIRECTORY that tr4w.exe is located in and execute from terminal command wine tr4w.exe NCCC-SPRINT.CFG
TR4W comes right up. I would surmise there is some sort of access problem. Where the program cannot find the CFG folder that is normally located right under him. Eg, ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/TR4w is location of tr4w.exe and ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/TR4w/2010 NCCC-SPRINT N4AF is the directory containing the actual CFG file. Moving the CFG file into the same directory as TR4W.EXE works.
I cannot seem to make - wine tr4w /2010\ NCCC-SPRINT\ N4AF/NCCC-SPRINT.CFG work. but if I rename the directory to, say, NCCC-SPRINT wine tr4w /NCCC-SPRINT/NCCC-SPRINT.CFG also works.
I have not been able to modify the icon command to make the above work- I see tr4w.exe in the process list but cannot get it to display any data and must kill the process. Hope this helps.

NOTE: the way tr4w.exe program works is specific to the contest that is selected. I config file is built into the contest specific directory that gives basic info to the executable. An example of the generated config file for NCCC-SPRINT.CFG is ;Created by TR4W v.4.219
MY CALL=N4AF MY STATE=NC MY NAME=AL CATEGORY-BAND=ALL CATEGORY-MODE=CW CATEGORY-OPERATOR=SINGLE-OP CATEGORY-POWER=LOW CONTEST=NCCC-SPRINT
My only point being the program needs this CFG info to initialize and it would appear he does not know how to find it under Wine.
