Violation of existing windows:
------------------------------
Wine can corrupt MS Windows installation.

It is recommended to copy whole of windows to another destination 
and to configure wine for this copy.


1. All configuration data is in the registry, and can be accessed
   directly by editing system.reg or user.reg, "wine regedit.exe" or
   with the graphical configuration frontend "winecfg".

2. Drives are configured by symlinking in ~/.wine/dosdevices/

3. You have to set the WINEPREFIX variable to the wine base dir,
   if it is different than ~/.wine.

4. Running "wineprefixcreate" will update or create such a wine base
   directory.

There usually is no need for additionaly configuring wine.

If no ~/.wine is present, it will setup a fake windows 
environment in ~/.wine by itself, including all necessary config
file and registry settings by running "wineprefixcreate".

Start wine:
-----------
Check whether wine runs by entering (e.g.) 'wine sol.exe' or
'wine progman'.


Error and warning messages:
---------------------------
Wine is intensively developed but always isn't complete.
Therefore things might not work and wine prints lots of error and
warning messages.
