Issue: Finding the file:
No, the program was installed at the installfest off of floppies into a
Linux directory. "Find" did not find the file.
Perhaps we put it on a hard disk partition we cannot read or is not
mounted!!. Do I have to manually mount disks? Very strange. I do not
erase things.
Issue: No configuration file for wine, therefore it will not run.
How do I run wine and generate a configuration file?
Thanks for the help!!

I know nothing about WINE, but...<br><br>
1. Is the Windows app installed on a WIndows partition?<br>
Perhaps that partition isn't mounted, and hence
the file cannot be seen?<br><br>
2. If you know the name of the file ("program.exe", for
example), you<br>
can try either:<br><br>
locate program.exe<br><br>
or:<br><br>
find / -name
"program.exe"<br><br>
And that should tell you precisely where it is, if it's still
there.<br>
(Again, see #1 above :^) )<br><br>
Good luck!<br><br>
