And about WINEPREFIX, simple hint, and it does not work from the start -- there
In the case of missing $WINEPREFIX, ~/.wine is the default.
is not such setenv in my system (wine works fine). The problem is not that I don't know how to use tar, gzip, svn, or whatever, no. There is always problem in touching/changing/editing files from outside. Registry files are not raw text files, so the problem arises right from the start with diff and patch. And so on...
Registry files in Wine *are* text files.
