====== Use WINE Instead of PlayOnLinux ======

To use pure WINE instead of PlayOnLinux, do the following:

<code>mkdir $HOME/.wine_program1</code>

"program1" being the name of the application I want to run.

<code>env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine_program1 winecfg</code>

Make any adjustments you want and close the config window.

If you need to specify a 32-bit prefix (such as when dealing with an older 32-bit program, you can do that, too.

<code>env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine_program1 WINEARCH="win32" winecfg</code>

Install the program:

<code>env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine_program1 wine $HOME/Downloads/installer.exe</code>

or whatever the installer is called.

All that's left now is to create a script to launch the program:

<code>#!/bin/bash

env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine_program1 wine $HOME/.wine_program1/drive_c/Program\ Files/program1/program1.exe</code>

or something like that.

Then you just have to remember to ''chmod +x'' that script before you can execute it.

===== Winetricks =====

To use Winetricks with an individual prefix:

<code>env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine_program1 sh winetricks corefonts</code>
