Any experienced users of Stars! under linux out there? Hosting seems to be a problem for me. At unpredictable intervals Stars! just keeps pumping turns non-stop. Anyone seen this? Is there a way of passing Stars! command line options to Wine? Doesn't work from the linux command line. Wine thinks everything is a command for itself. Is there a way of running a batch file?
Thanks,
Mike Holloway

As far as I know, Autohost runs under Wine, so if there were any serious problems hosting with it we'd know about it by now.
I am running Windows at the moment, but I seem to recall that you can supply options to the program you run by using a "--" option or something. Try "wine --help".

Well I only play stars on wine on linux. I use the transX gaming version of wine, and aside from the fact I have never bothered to work out what I need for sound, it works fine...

I've seen this once. However the interesting thing was it was a windows machine doing the hosting which triggered 91 years of generation before it was stopped.
So I think it is a problen with stars, not wine as such.

Thats not true. Wine passes everything after the command to the winows program.
So wine stars racefile.r1 , is the same as running stars racefile.r1 . To be sure about it you can insert -- to stop command line processing (standard unix convention). So something like wine <wineoptions> -- stars <starsoptions>
I use the following script for running stars:
#!/bin/sh
winex3 /home/nash/games/stars/bin/Stars\!-27jrc3.exe $*
Also I installed the debian binfmt-misc package, which means when I run .exes wine is automatically invoked...
