Hi,
I am maintainer of the new WineTools package. As it is related on http://www.winehq.org/site/download under "3rd Party Tools" I want you do know that the text has to be changed, as Frank discontinued development for WineTools since a long time.
The text should be now:
WineTools is a menu driven installer for installing Windows programs under Linux written by Joachim von Thadden. This software lets you install the following Windows software: DCOM98, IE6, Windows Core Fonts, Windows System Software, Office & Office Viewer, Adobe Photoshop 7, Illustrator 9 and many other programs.
"Written by" or "maintained by"? I thought Frank wrote it in the beginning...
You can download WineTools here: http://www.von-thadden.de/Joachim/WineTools/
Some of the config files included in the "wt210jo" release look somewhat out of date.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 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]).
Some of it is now handled in the registry, some in the .wine/dosdevices dir.
Providing outdated stuff doesn't help Wine or it's users. Work on Wine or winecfg (for easier configuration) would be preferred (I know this is Free Software, so you work on what you like).
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.
