Description Jonathan Heathcote 2005-10-18 20:35:43 UTC 
Wine is not able to run programs that use external files (such as Call of Duty &
ViaMichelin Map Sonic). When I run call of duty (a program reported to work in
Wine) the console says the directory "N:\/main/pak1.pk3" was not found (which
makes sense as it is not a valid adress) but this problem (with an extra slash
being added in to adresses) stops me running many applications that worked on my
Knoppix Live CD. Map Sonic seemed to work in SuSE 9.3 however it nolonger does
in 10.0.

where does it get this filename from?

do you pass it on the commandline?

The program requests this file during it's normal start up proceadure. Call of Duty for instance uses PK3 files to store all the GUI and game Data and the EXE meerly exicutes code from these files. Map sonic (a mapping aplication which I use to compile maps for my PDA) uses files within its directory to store the map data itself. (sorry about my spelling I am 14 and realy bad at it!)
