pretty much as neonknight said:

the command 'wine' is given in a terminal, such as Konsole, or xterm, aterm, eterm, followed by the path to the application you want to run.

wine is the program command that will run the windows prog for you.

So, if you have an application called foo.exe in your home/Anish_42/applications/folder, the command would be:

Code: Select all

wine home/Anish_42/applications/ folder/foo.exe

Simple as that, bear in mind not all progs will run under wine - check out a site called Franks Corner (google for it), this gives the latest tips and tricks for a multiple of programmes.

to put that simply, wine is a command in the shell now.
just try typing 'wine' to see the options. but to run a .exe you need to type 'wine' than the location of the .exe this is a fairly simple command and i doubt you will have any more trouble with it.[/code]

try emerging a program called dosemu, it might do the trick. seems a little crazy to run dos programs....

Moved from Installing Gentoo.

BTW why you need to run .bat scripts in Linux? Can you explain your problem in detail? There might be better ways.
