User Interface for Wine?`
Okay I will admit that I am a Noob at using wine. I have used it once for uTorrent via creating a launcher and creating a file path for wine to follow and it worked...but I would like to know if I could just open up wine and then drop in an .exe file to run? I need help....seriously!

I copied the folder to the wine directory, and double

opportunity to run it with a debugger, so I tried that. It
ran fine then, with no error messages in the console. So
I'd try copying the file/folder to Wine, and see what
happens.
Now all I have to figure out is how to get my file to run
without running the debgger.
And if anyone can help, I'd be thrilled. It's convert.exe,
if anyone is familiar with it.
Best.

Once you have unzipped it, go to your file manager--in my case, that's
Dolphin. Maneuver to the directory where the file is. If you left-click
on the file
_in Dolphin_ it will open in its graphic version, as if you were running
Windows.
Do that, just to make sure it's working. Now Right click on the file
and select
copy. Move your mouse to someplace on the desktop and right-click again.
Select paste. You will create an icon that says "DOS" in the middle,
and under
it will be the file name, in this case, Convert.exe. Now if you
left-click on the
icon, the file should open once again in graphic mode, just like Windows.
In the case of convert, if you try to run the file out of the terminal,
(type
convert, not convert.exe) you will get a text version of the file, which is
rather confusing, but presumably you could use it that way.
I hope that clears it all up. Sorry for any confusion.
