Step-by-step I think I'm getting closer to having wine
work.  I'm now getting a different statement from
trying to start a windows program using wine.  

Please look and tell me where I need to add a temp
drive or where in the 'config' file I make the changes

lrwxrwxrwx  1 mac mac 11 Apr 27 11:13 a: ->
/mnt/floppy
lrwxrwxrwx  1 mac mac  8 May 11 09:03 a:: -> /dev/fd0
lrwxrwxrwx  1 mac mac 12 May 16 10:06 c: ->

lrwxrwxrwx  1 mac mac  8 Apr 27 11:13 lpt1 -> /dev/lp0
lrwxrwxrwx  1 mac mac  1 Apr 27 11:13 z: -> /

and when I try and run a program I get this:

[mac@localhost dosdevices]$ wine excel
Invalid path L"X:\\" for L"temp" directory: does not
exist.
Perhaps you have not properly edited your Wine
configuration file (/home/mac/.wine/config)

Thanks,
Mac
