wine

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to use wine? All the links I can find to
documentation (except the man page which is just a list of meaningless
gobbledegook to me) lead nowhere! Do the windows progs have to be on the
same machine as wine? I have tried to run simple windows progs (calc.exe,
notepad.exe) over my net but either wine won't do it or my idea of commands
is way off. I have tried 'wine-debug -winver win95
"file://gold/c/windows/calc.exe" ' (IGNORE THE file: bit, damned MS Outlook
Express insists on putting it in whenever I use a double / and I can't find
out how to stop it!). I have also tried several other variations on the
command but all to no avail. Please help.

Ian
