wineconsole examples?

[Bill Holland]

Hello,

Is there a good example WINE configuration for running a simple console
program (using wineconsole)?

For example, the windows tree.com program?

I'm actually trying to run TLIB (version control software from Dave Burton
Systems, www.burtonsys.com ) under linux, and am so confused I want to start
with a working example first.  I'm new to linux, tlib, and wine!

I know it can be done, because Dave Burton had it working, but lost his
notes.

I got the "WINE Administrators Handbook", but it doesnt mention wineconsole
at all.

I am able to get TLIB to sort-of-run, but apparently still have far to go.

Thanks

- Bill

I don't know about wineconsole (Éric?), but for CUI DOS/WIN32 programs
the ttydrv driver (in place of the x11drv) works.

It lauches in whichever terminal is presently used: console, ssh, xterm.
I'm not sure about doing fancy "graphics" with it though. But if TLIB
has the same UI as cvs, then it should be good (at least on the UI
front).

wineconsole tree.com
should do the trick

in more details, you can either:
1/ choose to run your program in the (unix) console where you type the
command with "wine tree.com"
2/ or dedicate a specific console for your app "wineconsole tree.com"
option 1 is better for integration with unix tools
option 2 is better in terms of Wine internal handling, and may be less
buggy (depending on what your program does)

this book is rather old (and Wine did evolve a lot since it has been
written)

A+
