The real-mode emulator 'dosemu' has an option to use another extension for 
'autoexec.bat' and 'config.sys'. How about 'autoexec.wine' and 'config.wine', 
respectively? Just my EUR 0.02 ;-)

wcmd autoexec.bat?

This looks like an interesting idea you have Bodo. "autoexec.wine" would
be useful.

In the case of MS-WinNT and beyond MS have gone for the enviroment
variable settings in
the "System" section of control pannel.

How about adding a section to the Wine "config" file to support this
modern way of working?

For example:

[Environment Variables]
;System wide Wine specific environment variables useful for all apps
"INCLUDE" = "d:\vs\vc98\include;d:\vs\common\msdev98\include"
"LIB" = "d:\vs\vc98\lib"
"MYENV" = "123467890"

This would improve things I believe.

Hi davep,

yes, this looks great. Could it be reviewed for addition to the CVS 
version please?
