What's the purpose of this separated functionality ? In the other words why wine doesn't open console by default ?
because some people don't want a wine console and are looking for the standard unix one instead... using wineconsole (instead of wine) is the preferred way to go
I've got some problems with wineconsole (latest CVS) and my Mandrake 9.1.
EP> what type of problem ? it prints error message: err:wineconsole:WINECON_Init failed to init.
first of all, do you have (n)curses installed ? if not, that's the issue if yes, could you send me a -debugmsg +server,+wineconsole,+console trace ? TIA
