Yes, it's about 10% from Frank. So it must read: started by Frank and continued by me or something like that.
Some of the config files included in the "wt210jo" release look somewhat out of date. The definition of drives in config has been dropped since a
There is not a line of drive definitions. WineTools uses config.new and config.IE6. The others are just lying around for my reference and because there are still programs that run best with wine-20031212 and config.old ;-)
couple of months, as well as the definition for the System, Temp, Path and Profile environment variables, the ShellLinker key, the Resolution key (in [fonts]), the serial and parallel ports keys, the {Load,Write}HomeRegistryFiles keys, the WineLook key, and the ClearAllSelections and PersistentSelection keys (in [Clipboard]).
Yes, you can put them in the registry. And the easiest way to do so is to put them in the config and let Wine do the integration. Works very nice!
I'm not trying to dismiss WineTools, it's just that I'd much prefer people working on improving the "real" thing rather than distribute workarounds for a specific combination of Windows software and Wine release.
Yes, but I have to work with it and so I have to work with many workarounds. And I like to share this knowledge not only with people knowing how to deal with a linux system, a compiler, a shell and many other things. Wine is useful for the many people who like to migrate to linux easily and that's what WineTools are for. Just for your info: Since the first release one December 20, 2004 there have been more than 20.000 downloads. So I think there are many people interested in running Windows apps in Wine, but so many don't know how to do it. And yes, there are many who can not follow a HowTo or get proper results by googling and trying. For them is WineTools.
