Run ZTree under Linux with Wine

See the following tutorial written by Brendan Kidwell.

Modification to above tutorial:-

Run the Installer

Get the ZTreeWin installer (1.74) from the ZTree web site, then run it inside wine. I recommend you DO NOT let ZTreeWin install in "Program Files/ZTreeWin", but use /ZTreeWin instead. This makes later steps much easier.

Create a Launch Script "start_ztree.sh"

I suggest that you create this in /home/USENAME, and the following assumes this. (Make sure you set as executable). #!/bin/bash cd "/home/USERNAME/.wine/drive_c/ZTreeWin" wineconsole --backend=user ztw.exe /NC H:\ DO NOT use ZTW.BAT You can optionally include other parameters e.g. /COLS:102:122 /Rows:48:40 /MAX=-4:-10 Subsitute your username where it says “USENAME”. H:\ should be mapped to your home in wine.

To add a launcher in Gnome/Ubuntu

RightClick Panel, select Add to Panel/Custom Application Launcher Add ZTreeWin with the following properties: Command '/home/USENAME/start_ztree.sh' You can set the icon if desired. After launching you can set wine Properties Font and Configuration. The comments about ZTreeWin restriction to 80*25 no longer apply.

A few hints:-

ZTreeWin makes extensive use of the Alt key, which conflicts with Gnome. If you press, then release Alt, ZTreeWin will display the ALT MENU You can resize with F7/F8/F9, configure with F10 then restore the menu with Esc. You can install ZTreeWin 2.0.183 or later over 1.74. The new features in Info '/' cause ZTreeWin 2 to crash, but most of the new features seem to work.
