winex help
 
I found a Winex 3.2 rpm for my mandrake and it installed fine. But i was wondering about 1 thing, for some reason the command to start winex is not "winex setup.exe" but instead "wine setup.exe"
When i type just "wine" it says that its winex 3.2 and so on. Is there any way to change it so the command is winex, because i want to install the regular wine also...

Thanx for help guyz

if you have that version of winex that its command is "wine" then you will not be able to get regular wine to coexist with it...
so either a) get a different copy of winex, or b) just forget about it, cause there is next to no point in doing this...
i can't see it working if you renamed the execuatble wine to be winex, cause i would think you would have to also modify code that it links to...
the only thing you could pull off would be to make an alias so when you type winex it will run wine, but then it would still conflict with the regular wine when you try to install it, so personally i think you shouldn't even bother, cause i know myself that anything that i could run in wine ran in winex, but that could be just me :p

thats weird. i have mandrake9.1 and winex 3.2's binary is winex3. maybe the 'wine' exe is just a symlink?

in the cvs version the binary is wine, and u cant install regular wine and cvs winex at the same time

Thanx guys...
btw, can WineX run the same stuff Wine can?

I think it can, to a point...


BTW - I thought that to run wineX 3.2 you need to type: winex3 whatever.exe

?
